Manchester United have only a few days left to complete their preparations for the season. The Red Devils will want to be in the best shape possible when they take to the field against Leeds United in just over a week.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s wards are gearing up for their final pre-season friendly against Everton this season and the Norwegian is still hoping for a few more additions to his kitty before the end of the summer.
Manchester United are eager to integrate Raphael Varane into the squad as soon as possible. The Red Devils are also sweating on the future of Paul Pogba.
On that note, let’s take a look at the major Manchester United transfer stories from 5 August 2021.
Manchester United optimistic about Raphael Varane’s involvement against Leeds United
The Frenchman’s move was delayed due to the mandatory process of obtaining Government Body Exception, a rule that applies to all overseas footballers after the implementation of Brexit.
However, Manchester United remain optimistic about completing the move in time to have him available for selection against Leeds United, for which he has to be registered by midday on Friday 13th August.
