Raphael Varane has confirmed he will leave Manchester United at the end of the season after he failed to agree a new deal to extend his stay at the club.
The World Cup winner is out of contract at the end of June and he would have had to take a pay cut to remain at the club, having suffered an injury-hit three years.
Varane has been sidelined with an injury since April 4 but is working to be fit before the end of the season and could yet feature in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, May 25. He has confirmed he will be at Old Trafford on Wednesday night to say farewell at the club's final home game of the season against Newcastle.
Despite confirming his exit, Varane said he fell in love with United from the moment his signing was unveiled on the pitch before the opening-day win against Leeds in 2021/22 and he had an encouraging view on the direction under Ineos.

"To you guys, supporters of Manchester United, it's been an amazing few years to play for this special club and wearing that shirt," said Varane.
"The first time I went to Old Trafford as a Man United player it was insane, the atmosphere was amazing. I fell in love with the club and the fans. You have to play for Man United to understand what that represents.
"For my kids it's home here, it's going to be a special place for me for life. When the fans go to Wembley, it's something they remember for life. To share that moment with them was absolutely amazing.
"Despite the fact we had a difficult season I'm very positive for the future. The new owners are coming with a clear plan and a great strategy. I'll see you at Old Trafford to say
