Manchester United have completed the signing of centre-back Raphael Varane from Real Madrid on a four-year deal.

A fee of £34m - which could rise to £42m with add-ons - was agreed for the France international on 26 July. He has signed a contract to 2025.

The 28-year-old France international won three La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues trophies with Real during a 10-year stay.

"Manchester United is one of the most iconic clubs in world football," said World Cup winner Varane.

"The chance to come here and play in the Premier League is something I couldn't turn down."

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “I'm absolutely delighted that we have managed to secure one of the best defenders in the world over the last 10 years. Raphaël is a proven winner who we have tracked over a long period of time and we know just how much of a dedicated professional he is.

“We have great depth of international defenders and he will add his immense skill set and leadership to that group. He is a unique defender with a rare combination of top-level attributes that I know will rub off on our younger players.

“He has won everything there is to win but I know that he is still determined to succeed, I can't wait to welcome him into the squad."
