Varane was unveiled to Man United's support before their 5-1 thrashing of Leeds. He later told the Manchester United website:

"Manchester United is one of the most iconic clubs in world football and the chance to come here and play in the Premier League is something I couldn’t turn down.

“There is a lot more that I want to achieve in my career and I know I’m joining a squad full of great players who will all have the same determination to win matches and trophies. 

"Having spoken to the manager I can see how much progress has been made over the last few seasons and I now join a group ready to play at the highest level."

The 2018 World Cup winner would have certainly be impressed by his new sides performance. Fans will be expecting more of the same from the club especially once Varane is settled in. You can see the highlights in the video below.
