Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend understands Manchester United's move for Raphael Varane.
The French defender has been linked with a move to Old Trafford as his time with Real Madrid seems to be coming to a close.
Townsend told talkSPORT: "If you look at Manchester United 's team, they are very top-heavy.
"They have a lot of forward options and Jadon Sancho will give them another option but Varane, if he does come in, will solidify the back four.
"He will give them extra strength, extra pace and somebody of his calibre is more suited to the Premier League.
"He's big, he's strong, he is quick and I definitely think the Varane one takes them closer to where they want to be."
