The former Red Devils full-back thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has added a "complete centre-back" to his ranks at Old Trafford
Raphael Varane is a "top, top signing" for Manchester United, according to Patrice Evra, who says the Real Madrid defender reminds him of Rio Ferdinand.
United confirmed that they have reached an agreement to sign Varane on Tuesday, with Goal reporting that the final deal could end being worth a grand total of £41 million ($57m) including add-ons.
Evra has long been an admirer of the 28-year-old, and sees similarities between a fellow Frenchman and Red Devils legend Ferdinand, who won six Premier League titles and the Champions League at Old Trafford between 2002 and 2014.
