Eintracht Frankfurt sign defender Guillermo Varela

Eintracht Frankfurt says it has signed defender Guillermo Varela on a one-season loan from Manchester United.

Varela played for the Uruguay side that reached the final of the Under-20 World Cup in 2013.

Eintracht's director for sport Bruno Huebner calls the 23-yearold Varela a "very talented young player."

Eintracht is rebuilding after just avoiding relegation from the Bundesliga last season.
