Done Deal: Manchester United agree deal for defender, player poses with new club shirt

The Uruguayan International joined the Premier League giants in 2013 from Penarol to become the first signing of David Moyes’ unsuccessful tenure in charge of the Red Devils.

Both Man Utd and Frankfurt are yet to confirm Varela’s move to Germany, but the player posted a picture on his Facebook page holding the jersey of the Bundesliga club with the caption, ‘New adventure’.

The young full back spent the 2013/14 campaign on loan at Real Madrid Castilla, although he was included in the Los Blancos’ first team squad for the Champions League that season.
