Official Man United have agreed a deal with Real Madrid for the transfer of Raphael Varane

Originally posted on BenchWarmers | By Neville O'Donoghue | Last updated 7/27/21

The Real Madrid defender is heading to Old Trafford and what a signing the 28 year French man Raphael Varane is for Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and his management team. He will slot in nicely beside Harry Maguire at the heart of the Manchester United defence.

The Red Devils have already signed 21 year old English winger Jadon Sancho, so the Reds mean business this season and will hope to get a lot closer to Manchester City and push them hard for the Premier League title.
