Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has branded in-coming Raphael Varane \u201ca proven winner\u201d, with the Red Devils agreeing a deal to sign the central defender from Los Blancos.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old swashbuckling defencder who\u2019s won it all on the pitch is expected to undergo a medical with the 20-time English champions next week ahead of a potential debut against Everton in the team\u2019s final pre-season friendly of the summer.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media after Wednesday\u2019s 2-2 draw with Brentford, United boss Solskjaer said that he could hardly wait to welcome the proven France international to Old Trafford, while the Norwegian also hailed the club\u2019s bold move in spending \u00a373m to sign young hotrod Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, very happy that we\u2019ve managed to get a deal with Real Madrid,\u201d the Manchester Evening News quotes Solskjaer as saying. \u201cMedical should hopefully be okay, he\u2019s a proven winner, he\u2019s a player we\u2019ve followed for many, many years.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir Alex [Ferguson] was very close to signing him. This time around, we\u2019ve got him at the other end of his career. He\u2019s proved over his career, what a good person he is, professional and he\u2019s won what there is to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very happy getting both our players in. The club shows ambition with one of the most exciting young forwards in world football and one of the most respected centre-backs in the world and one of the most winning centre-backs in the world. With him in, we\u2019ve got different ways of playing as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Varane and Sancho could be making their competitive debuts for Man United in their 2021-22 Premier League opener against Leeds United at Old Trafford on August 14.<\/p>\n
Now, wouldn\u2019t that be an appetizing match to look forward to?<\/p>\n
