It is a rare weekend off for Manchester United as they recuperate from a packed fixture schedule which saw them play three times in the space of just five days. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need to pick his side up for their final two Premier League matches next week before the scintillating prospect of a Europa League Final vs Villarreal as their final match of the season. Off the pitch United already have an eye on the summer transfer window and the club are holding exploratory talks with Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane as he considers his future at the club. United are one of a number of clubs holding dialogue with Varane's camp as he approaches the last year of his contract. Sources say United are expected to go 'all out' for a new centre-back following the renewal of striker Edinson Cavani's contract.
