Manchester United's Raphael Varane reportedly feels that he's being forced out of Old Trafford.  

This, after the Red Devils ruled out a new contract for the defender and would require him to take a pay cut if he wants to extend his current deal.  

According to sources, the 30-year-old is still undecided on whether he'll stay with United with a lower salary or leave on a free transfer.
