Raphael Varane 'completes the second part of his Manchester United medical', with his £42m switch from Real Madrid set to be announced by the club 'imminently'... and Frenchman is in line to play against Leeds on Saturday

Raphael Varane completed the second part of his medical at Manchester United on Wednesday and an announcement of his £42million move to the club is imminent, according to reports.

Last month, United announced that they had struck a deal with Real Madrid for the transfer of the World Cup winner, who had been at the Santiago Bernabeu for the last decade.

Varane's transfer to Old Trafford has taken some time to complete due to quarantine rules and the Frenchman is in a race against time to feature in United's opening game of the Premier League season against Leeds on Saturday.
