Manchester United expect to close the signing of Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane next week.
The Manchester Evening News says United are aiming to complete the signing of Raphael Varane by Wednesday.
Varane is believed to have obtained a visa to travel to England, where he will have to quarantine following his arrival.
The 28-year-old defender has agreed to join United in a deal that could rise to £43million, with the transfer subject to a medical.
Sources have described the process to complete Varane's move as 'annoyingly slow' after the France international bade farewell to Real Madrid players and staff last Friday.
