The Red Devils have already agreed a £72.9million move for Jadon Sancho – with an official announcement expected imminently – and have now turned their attention to strengthening their defence. Talks have been taking place with Real Madrid defender Varane’s representatives and now The Sun report that the World Cup winner has agreed to move to Old Trafford. But Varane’s camp are understood to have negotiated terms on a five-year contract and a switch to Manchester is now considered imminent, though a fee still has to be agreed with Real. Atletico Madrid right-back Trippier is keen to return to the Premier League and talks over an £18m transfer are now ‘in the final stages’.
