PRESSURE ON

Manchester United are closing in on the second statement signing of the summer with the imminent arrival of Raphael Varane following the long-awaited signing of Jadon Sancho.

However Ray Parlour believes their arrival will put pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to bring immediate success to the club.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Parlour said: “I think most Manchester United fans will be very excited about Varane coming in.

“If they can get someone of his experience, 79 caps for France – he’s been there and done it, he’s played in big games, World Cup winner. I think that’s an excellent signing.

“Ole Gunnar Solskjaer surely can’t complain that he hasn’t been backed.

“To buy Sancho, now you’ve got Varane coming into your club, it puts a little bit more pressure on you, as a manager.”
