Manchester United centre-back Raphael Varane has explained how legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson actually paid a visit to his mother's house when the Red Devils were first interested in his signature.
Prior to the Frenchman's switch to Spanish giants Real Madrid, Varane's performances had caught the eye of a number of European giants including United who began to put the feelers out.
During an interview with United's in-house media, the 28-year-old was asked whether there was any truth behind rumours Ferguson had met him personally in a bid to try and convince him to join.
