(Reuters) - Defender Raphael Varane's move to Manchester United from Real Madrid is "not 100% done" and the Frenchman will not be available for the opening league game against Leeds United, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told reporters on Friday.

The France international was expected to be unveiled as a United player this week after a deal in principle was agreed between the two clubs last month.
