THE BIGGER PICTURE

"To you guys, supporters of Manchester United, it's been an amazing few years to play for this special club and wear that shirt," he said on his personal Instagram account following his last game at <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/raphael-varane-confirms-man-utd-exit-video-reveals-what-he-thinks-about-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ineos-disastrous-2023-24-season/blt754aaa235558d94e" target="_blank">Old Trafford</a> in midweek. "The first time I went to Old Trafford as a Man Utd player it was insane, the atmosphere was amazing."I fell in love with the club, with the fans. You have to play for Man Utd to understand what that represents."For my kids, it's home here. It's going to be a special place for me for life."

WHAT VARANE SAID

The World Cup winner has missed the last eight games through injury but is back in training. He was last in action during the 4-3 loss to Chelsea in April but will be hoping to finish the season a high by beating City in the FA Cup final.
