​REVEALED: Varane told Real Madrid to forget Chelsea, PSG and focus on Man Utd

Incoming Manchester United signing Raphael Varane reportedly told Real Madrid to ignore offers from other teams.

The Red Devils have all but secured the French centre- back ahead of the new season.

According to ESPN, the likes of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain did show an interest in the tall defender.

Varane, however, told Real that he only wanted a move to United.

The two clubs eventually agreed on a fee and the move is only pending Varane traveling to England to complete his medical and sign the contract.

United will be looking to pair him with captain Harry Maguire as their first choice centre-back pairing for the coming seasons.
