Raphael Varane’s farewell is exactly what Manchester United fans can expect this summer.

Varane parted ways with Man United after a difficult journey

So, not long after the match between Manchester United vs Arsenal in round 37 of the 2023/24 Premier League ended, the Manchester Red Devils homepage suԀԀenly announced important news.

Specifically, Raphael Varane confirmed his farewell to the club after the 2023/24 season ends. The French midfielder announced that he would sаy goodbye to the fans at the Old Trafford home match in the round 34 match against Newcastle United. Most likely, in the following matches with Brighton or the FA Cup final with Man City, Varane will still participate as the final stage of the past 3 years.

Varane parted ways with Man United

In the summer of 2021, Raphael Varane shocked the media when he left Real Madrid and joined Manchester United. Despite less than 3 years in the red half of Manchester, the French midfielder still shows his class and highly professional contributions, especially the Carabao Cup championship in the 2022/23 season under Erik ten Hag. .

However, Varane’s contribution is gradually limited in the 2023/24 season due to unfortunate injuries. Up to now, after the three seasons 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24 are about to end, Varane has never played more than 30 matches for Man United. In 3 years in Manchester, the star born in 1993 only had 34 appearances in all competitions.

Injuries and physical limitations make Varane gradually become a burden for the Red Devils, although his class is unquestionable. The decision to leave seems good for both of them.

Varane’s farewell is what Man Utd fans can hope for

Raphael Varane’s separation from Manchester United is inevitable, in the context that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s senior team has been making changes at Old Trafford. Not only Varane, names that are no longer useful will be liquidated first, followed by contract negotiations, ready to eliminate a series of stars that, although good, are difficult to ensure the long-term future of the club.

Man Utd will also recruit many new faces, adding steel, youth and figҺting spirit from next season. Many new names came to Old Trafford, which was also the time when a series of old faces had to leave according to the list proposed by the Red Devils’ top management and the head coach. However, just through Varane’s case, Man Utd fans can see two main aspects.

First, Man United knows how to negotiate, narrow the salary budget, be more alert in retaining stars and is ready to end contracts with names that are no longer suitable for long-term development. Next, the Red Devils’ upper management at this time, under the hands of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, showed that Man United had no more room for long-term “sick soldiers”, with the case of Anthony Martial being a typical example, causing public anger and causing European media calls Man Utd “FC of love”.

Only drastic moves will bring the club gradually back on track. The story of Varane’s farewell, although seemingly quick, is happy.
