Manchester United have agreed a fee and personal terms with Real Madrid star Raphael Varane.

The French International has reportedly agreed a four-year deal with Manchester United and is set to undergo a medical at Old Trafford.

Manchester Evening News reports that, Varane has been studying the Red Devils’ defending from last season.

And the reports further added that Raphael has asked for clips of United’s defending set-pieces so he can study and hit the ground running when he joins.

The Los Blancos defender is set to move to Old Trafford this summer, and he is already looking into where they can improve and has specifically requested footage of their defensive organization at set-pieces.

ESPN reports that United’s manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has received £100million from the Glazer to spend this summer.

Though that amount can be topped up with player sales.

And they say offers for Jesse Lingard, Brandon Williams, Diogo Dalot, Alex Telles, Phil Jones, Andreas Pereira, Daniel James and Anthony Martial will be considered.

United are set to have a net spend of £75million to £100million and will need to offload to balance the books, reports say.

Sancho's £73million move looks to be followed by a £41million move for Varane.

With a new midfielder and Kieran Trippier still reported targets, United may be forced to sell Paul Pogba or Jesse Lingard.

The Telegraph say any more incomings would need to come following sales.
