According to the Daily Mirror, Varane is the latest big name that David Beckham wants to bring to the MLS club.

Miami already boast Barcelona legends Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez, and the next on the list is Varane.

Varane’s contract at Manchester United expires at the end of the month and the Red Devils will not activate the option to extend his deal by another year.

The France centre back set to leave on a free transfer on July 1.

Varane lost his place in the United first team this past season and has generally only been starting when there has been a succession of injuries to other centre backs.

He fell so far down the centre back order earlier in the campaign that Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw were all preferred to him as Harry Maguire’s centre back partner.

Varane’s relationship with manager Erik ten Hag was also not the best, while also suffered from an increasing number of injuries in recent years.

Varane joined Man Utd from Real Madrid in 2021 but has not impressed like he did during 10 brilliant years in Spain.

The France centre back did finish his Man Utd career on a high, though, as he performed excellently in the FA Cup final as the Red Devils beat Man CIty 2-1.

Clubs in Saudi Arabia have also been linked with the centre back, who is only 31.
