Raphaël Varane to make Man United debut against Wolves

Manchester United's new centre back Raphaël Varane is set to make his debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers away at Molineux.

The 28-year-old World Cup winner signed for United from Real Madrid this summer for a fee of £41 million, including add-ons.

Varane made 236 appearances for the Galacticos, in which he scored just 8 times. The defender does flash a big medals' cabinet with Madrid however, amassing 19 trophies, including four Champions Leagues, three La Liga titles and one World Cup with France.

Varane was unveiled to United fans to a warm reception at Old Trafford before their opening Premier League game against Leeds. United went on to win the game 1-1.

Posting on social media, United were not too subtle about the potential of a Varane signing earlier this week.

 

The Frenchman will also be reunited with his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo shortly. Ronaldo, who looked all but ready to join Man City, chose to re-sign for Manchester United on Friday, in a dramatic plot twist in the transfer market.

Varane lines up with captain Harry Maguire in an eagerly anticipated centre-back partnership. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho also makes his first start for the Red Devils.
