There will be no last-minute hold-ups here for Manchester United and their pursuit of star center back Raphael Varane. United and Real Madrid have made things officlal, with the EPL side taking to Twitter to announce the move.

With Varane making his way to Old Trafford, he'll now be playing with Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to form quite the back four. Can this team now compete for a Premier League title?

After losing the Europa League Final last year, United's front office has been motivated to improve the squad. They've sure done that by bringing in Varane.
