Sancho sends Man Utd fans into meltdown as he 'confirms' Varane transfer

Manchester United are reportedly set to sign Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane over the coming days.

Manchester United new boy Jadon Sancho may have prematurely confirmed the imminent arrival of Raphael Varane at Old Trafford during an Instagram Live session on Monday afternoon. The 21-year-old, who was unveiled as a Red Devils player on Friday after sealing his long-awaited move from Borussia Dortmund, could reportedly be joined by Varane by the end of next week.

The Real Madrid defender is believed to be closing in on a £42.7million switch to United, with his medical set to be completed on Wednesday per Gianluca di Marzio.

The 20-time Premier League champions have agreed personal terms with Varane, who is poised to leave the Spanish capital after a decade of service to pen a five-year contract with the Red Devils.

He will be expected to shore up United's defensive ranks alongside skipper Harry Maguire next season as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eyes a return to the summit of the Premier League table.

Sancho will also be looking to hit the ground running and nip ahead of Marcus Rashford in the pecking order to firmly establish himself as the club's first-choice left winger.

The man from Camberwell is currently gearing up for the new Premier League season and took to Instagram to interact with his followers during a treadmill session on Monday.
