Uruguayan defender Guillermo Varela is joining Eintracht Frankfurt on a season-long loan from Manchester United.

United announced on their website on Saturday morning that they had reached agreement for the player to sign for the Bundesliga outfit until June 30, 2017.

Varela made his senior United bow in a goalless home draw against West Ham last December and made a total of 10 starts for the first team.

The right-back also scored the title-clinching goal for the Under-21s last season at Tottenham.
