Guillermo Varela enjoyed his stint at Old Trafford

Manchester United are set to make their first signing of the summer, with 20 year old fullback Guillermo Varela flying to England to tie up a move from Penarol.

Varela spent some time on trial at Old Trafford last month as the club ran the rule over the Uruguayan youngster and apparently they liked what they saw as a move is set to be completed imminently.

Journalist Mark Lacaze, who covers Penarol extensively, tweeted last night that Varela, along with Penarol’s treasurer Rodolfo Catino, travelled to England to finalise the move:

(The leader of Peñarol @ RodolfoCatino is with Guille Varela who accompanied him on his trip to England to sign for Manchester United.)

Catino also tweeted:

(In San Pablo airport waiting for a connection to London, the value of Guille)

Lacaze claimed the deal was worth €1.8m (£1.5million) and that United were keen to tie up the deal before the defender headed off to Turkey for the u20 World Cup.
