Varane completes €47m move to Manchester United from Real Madrid as Old Trafford summer spending spree continues

The Frenchman has committed his future to the Red Devils until 2026 after bringing the curtain down on his illustrious career at Santiago Bernabeu

Raphael Varane has completed his €47 million (£40m/$55m) move to Manchester United from Real Madrid.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has added a World Cup-winning defender to his ranks as the 2021-22 season gets underway, with Varane committing to a five-year deal which will see him remain at Old Trafford through to 2026.

The 28-year-old was offered the chance to extend his Madrid stay but has instead opted to take up a new challenge in the Premier League, bringing to an end his trophy-laden 10-year spell at Santiago Bernabeu.
