Raphael Varane to Manchester United: Here we go

Manchester United are on the verge of an agreement for Raphael Varane.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports the deal is ‘almost done, adding his now famous ‘here we go’

This is a major development for Manchester United as the club look to strengthen for 2021/22.

Varane was United’s number one defensive transfer target from the outset, and a deal is almost done. It is very un-Manchester United like.

United are taking advantage of a few situations to get this deal done.

Varane has just one year remaining on his Real Madrid contract. Real also need money for their own transfer targets now and next summer, while Varane’s mentor Zinedine Zidane has left the club.

It has all lined up perfectly for United to land the world class defender the club need to partner Harry Maguire.
