Solskjaer Finally Breaks Silence After Completing Raphael Varane’s Signing!

“Very happy that we’ve managed to get a deal with Real Madrid,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told MUTV of Raphaël Varane after the Brentford draw, as quoted by utdreport on Twitter.

“He is a proven winner. He is a player we have followed for many years. Sir Alex was very close to signing him.

“With him we have different ways of playing.

“First of all the club shows ambition with one of the most exciting young players in world football, then one of the most respected center-backs — can’t wait to get him in, hopefully, we can get that sorted as soon as [possible].”
