Marcus Rashford sends message to fans after Man Utd confirm Varane agreement

Marcus Rashford has pleaded with Manchester United fans to "stop spamming" his social media accounts after the Red Devils confirmed an agreement had been reached with Real Madrid for Raphael Varane.

The announcement brings to an end months of speculation linking the Frenchman to Old Trafford, with a fee of £42.7million believed to have been agreed.

Varane is understood to have penned a four-year contract with the Red Devils worth around £250,000-a-week.

He will become United's third signing of the summer transfer window, following on from the arrival of Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho and Aston Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton.

At one stage during negotiations, United appeared worried that Varane was using them to secure a better contract at Real Madrid.

Those doubts are now over after the Red Devils confirmed on Tuesday that an agreement had been reached to sign the World Cup winner.

"Manchester United is delighted to announce the club has reached agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of Raphaël Varane, subject to a medical and to player terms being finalised," a statement read.

Confirmation of Varane's imminent arrival will be news to the ears of United fans – and striker Marcus Rashford.

Do you think Varane's arrival can see United challenge for the Premier League title? Let us know in the comments section.

The England international has been bombarded with messages from desperate supporters on social media urging Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to complete a deal for the centre-half.

United tweet the announcement with the line: "Bonsoir, Reds. We have agreed a deal in principle for the transfer of Raphael Varane to United!"

And Rashford, sensing his opportunity to have a cheeky dig back at the club's supporters, responded with his own message mimicking the tweet.

"Can we please stop spamming my posts now, oui oui," the England international wrote.

Varane's arrival is an important one for Solskjaer as he looks to build a squad capable of challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title.

It means captain Harry Maguire now has a world class centre-back partner after two seasons flitting between Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly.

Whether it is the final piece of the puzzle for United this summer, only time will tell.
