In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Manchester United defender Raphael Varane announced that he will be leaving the Premier League club at the end of the season. This news came as a shock to many, as Varane has been an integral part of the team since his arrival in 2021, having spent more than a decade at Real Madrid before that.
Throughout his time at United, Varane has solidified his status as one of the greatest fullbacks of his time. However, this season has been a tough one for the talented center back, as he has spent most of it on the sidelines due to injury struggles. His last appearance on the field was against Chelsea on April 4, where he was unfortunately substituted due to a muscular injury.
In his emotional video, Varane expressed his gratitude towards the club and its supporters. He reminisced about his first game at Old Trafford as a United player, where he was blown away by the amazing atmosphere and fell in love with the club. He also mentioned that for his children, United has become a second home and will always hold a special place in his heart.
The 31-year-old Frenchman also looked back fondly on the 2023 FA Cup final against Manchester City, where he was a part of the squad. Although he will not be playing in this year's final against the same opponent, it will still be his last game with the club. Varane expressed his joy at being able to share that special moment with the fans and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Despite the tough season that United has had, Varane remains positive for the future of the club. He mentioned the new owners and their plans for the team, leaving fans with a glimmer of hope for the upcoming seasons. He also promised to return to Old Trafford for the final home game of the season to bid farewell to the fans, which he believes will be an emotional day for him.
As Varane prepares to leave the club, he thanked Manchester United and its fans for everything they have given him. He ended his message with a simple yet powerful statement, "Thank you for everything, Manchester United."
