Man Utd boss Solskjaer admits more delays over Varane deal

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits their deal for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is not yet signed off.

Solskjaer was asked what stage the Varane transfer is up to, when he faced the press in his traditional pre-match briefing today.

“He's not trained with us," said Solskjaer. “All the dots are over the Is but we haven't crossed the Ts yet.

“Things happen, things take time and unfortunately with the isolation and the delay, there are things [that cause delays].

“I can't say that the will be involved tomorrow. I can probably say that he won't be because he's not trained with us.

“It always happens that there's little things in there. The big hold up was the isolation and quarantine of course. He's been in Manchester."
