Varela makes Real loan switch from Man United
Real Madrid have signed Manchester United defender Guillermo Varela on loan for the rest of the season.
The 21-year-old Uruguayan was David Moyes' first signing as United boss, but has not featured in the first team since his move from Penarol last June and links up with the European champions for the remainder of the 2014-15 campaign.
Varela will play for the Real's 'Castilla' reserve team in the Segunda Division under Zinedine Zidane.
He becomes the second player this week to make a loan move to Real from United, following striker Javier Hernandez to the Spanish capital.
Uruguay Under-20 international Varela was a regular fixture in United's Under-21 team last season.
