Trouble ahead for Manchester United as their move for Raphael Varane hits a snag at the 11th hour

Posted by

Manchester United appear to be oh-so-close to securing Real Madrid centre-back, Raphael Varane, as their next summer signing, however, the switch seems to have hit a snag at the 11th hour.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to be keen to pair the French World Cup winner with Harry Maguire, to shore up United’s back line, and the quicker he’s able to join the Red Devils’ pre-season, the better for all concerned.

Though a deal could still be announced imminently, it will be the middle to end of next week at the earliest before Varane can join up with his new team-mates.

Raphael Varane has been an exceptional player for Real Madrid.

That’s because, according to AS and cited by Get Spanish Football News, the player will have to isolate for five days after touching down in England.

It will be a frustrating delay but one that is, unfortunately, wholly necessary in these Covid times.

If everything else goes according to plan, then Varane should be a United player before the end of next week.

  1. Click bait headline. Can’t you just be accurate and honest. How about: Varane Must Isolate for 5 Days Before United Switch ???

  5. This is poor journalism. Why can’t you just be honest with your headlines instead of clickbaiting people into reading your acticles. Shame on you lot.

So that’s it, farewell, I shall never again click on one of your ridiculous headlines, I urge everyone to do the same. It’s the only way they’ll learn.

  7. I suppose anything can happen during his quarantine. Just think, he could catch the Corona Virus and die or he could fall on the stairs and cripple himself or his food could be poisoned by City or Liverpool fans or he could simply die in his sleep!
