Defender heading to Old Trafford after winning four UEFA Champions League titles and the World Cup

Manchester United have announced they have agreed a deal with Real Madrid for the transfer of defender Raphael Varane.

Personal terms are yet to be finalised and a medical is still required for the 28-year-old centre-back.

Varane has enjoyed a trophy-laden 10-year stay in Madrid, winning the UEFA Champions League four times and LaLiga three times.

He is also a FIFA World Cup winner after helping France to win the trophy in 2018.

He is set to become Man Utd's third arrival of the summer after winger Jadon Sancho and goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
