“After three seasons at Old Trafford, Raphael Varane will depart Manchester United in the summer when his contract expires. Varane is appreciated by all at MU, and we wish him the best in the future,” it was declared. a paragraph on the MU homepage reads:

“See you again at Old Trafford in the final home game of this season (against Newcastle on May 16),” Varane tweeted. I’ll be experiencing a lot of emotion on this day.”

Varane paid 34 million pounds to join Manchester United from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021. The French midfielder’s weekly wage at Old Trafford is up to 340,000 pounds. The contract for Varane expires at the conclusion of this season.

Varane has had a really patchy season. The Frenchman used to start most of the games on the substitute bench. Around that same period, Varane and coach Erik ten Hag were reportedly having a falling out, however the Dutch captain subsequently refuted the reports from the British media.

The main issue facing Varane is his constant absences from play due to injuries. In defensive situations, the 2018 World Cup champion lost his quickness and defensive savvy.

Varane’s one-year option to extend his contract was available to MU, but they chose not to. The new owners of MU want to reorganize the team by pushing out veteran players like Varane who command large contracts. Casemiro is most likely the next player to depart Old Trafford at the end of this season, behind Varane.

With four Champions League medals, a World Cup, and numerous more honorable championships at both club and national team levels, Varane is the second-best player on the “Red Devils” squad.
