Manchester United confirm Raphael Varane signing

Manchester United have confirmed the arrival of Raphael Varane to Old Trafford. The Red Devils have announced that they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the Frenchman. However, the deal is subject to a medical, while personal terms already been agreed.

Varane is one of the finest defenders in the modern game and has enjoyed tremendous success during his decade-long stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Frenchman had previously turned down the La Liga giants’ offer for a contract extension after entering the final 12 months of his deal with Los Blancos. Varane was eager to embrace a new challenge, with Manchester United his preferred destination and Real Madrid have granted him his wish.

The Red Devils will pay the Spanish giants €50m in total for the Frenchman’s signature. Varane is expected to arrive in England this week for his medical and will have to undergo mandatory quarantine before his move is completed.

Red Devils turn attention to £25m French midfielder

With Raphael Varane all set to arrive at Old Trafford, Manchester United will turn their attentions to Eduardo Camavinga next, according to We All Follow United via Daily Star. The Red Devils want a new defensive midfielder this summer and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is convinced that the Frenchman is the right candidate for the job.

Manchester United hold a long-term interest in Camavinga and have been tracking the player for quite some time. The Rennes midfielder is in the final year of his current contract and has informed the club that he will not sign an extension. The Ligue 1 side are willing to let the 18-year-old leave for £25m.

Newcastle United interested in Manchester United star

Newcastle United are eager to complete a move for Axel Tuanzebe, according to The Hard Tackle via The Telegraph. The Englishman has struggled for game time at Manchester United in recent times, with injuries hurting his first-team opportunities.
