Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he 'cannot wait' to sign 'proven winner' Raphael Varane from Real Madrid as the Frenchman's £42million switch to Old Trafford nears completion. 

The Red Devils have been pursuing a deal for the highly rated centre back all summer and are close to getting their man in a move that will see him join another high profile signing in Jadon Sancho.

Solskjaer is delighted with the club's ambition this season and feels both Varane and Sancho will make 'a huge difference' to the team, saying the former had been a player United had been tracking from the days of Sir Alex Ferguson.

'The medical should hopefully be OK and he's a proven winner. He's a player we've followed for many, many years.
