Raphael Varane reacts to scoring first Man United goal

Raphael Varane has sent a message to the fans after scoring his first Man United goal.

I think it’s fair to say that Manchester United fans were rightly excited when a deal to sign Raphael Varane was struck.

The Frenchman is a Red Devils supporter like you and me, while United acquired one of the best centre-backs in the business.

Sadly, injuries have seriously hampered his start to life at Old Trafford. I guess adjusting to the most physical league in the world takes some time.

When fully fit and available, we’ve seen some lovely performances from Varane, who obviously has talent in abundance. None more so than last night against Brentford.


Varane cruised his way through the game, defending with diligence and passing it out from the back where possible. He’d cap off the performance with a goal via a corner. After the game, he’d send a message to the fans.

Check out Varane’s post on Instagram here:

I love Rapha. Given a full pre-season under Erik ten Hag, and the proper length of time to fully heal his body, we could be looking at a player who should go on to emerge as one of the best in the country next season. Obviously, that also requires a little bit of luck.

It has been hard for Varane to show his true colours in this struggling United side. No doubt the World Cup winner himself has also suffered a confidence-hit in the process.

We all know his talent and ability, though. The 29-year-old is just too good to keep down for long. His goal last night displayed that and I really do believe we’ll see improved displays from him in 2022/23.

Congratulations on your first United goal, Rapha!
