United confirm varela signing

Manchester United have completed a deal to sign Uruguayan right-back Guillermo Varela from AtleticoPenarol for an undisclosed fee. Varela, 20, had a trial at Old Trafford last season and is David Moyes's first signing as Manchester United manager. The defender has made one appearance for Penarol but has nine caps for Uruguay's Under-20 side. Varela is taking part in the Under-20 World Championships, which runs from 21 June to 13 July, in Turkey. Penarol head coach Jorge Da Silva believes the youngster has earned the move. Da Silva said: "This is what hedeserves. It is a shame to see him go but you can't denyhim the opportunity to join a club like this." Rafael was United's regular right-back last season, with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling also featuring in the role.
