Manchester United ace Raphael Varane names three clubs where he could retire

Manchester United centre-back Raphael Varane has admitted that he expects to finish his playing career at one of three clubs.

The experienced Frenchman, who retired from international football earlier this year, joined United from Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid in August 2021. After an injury-hit maiden season at Old Trafford, Varane has played a key role in manager Erik ten Hag's debut campaign in charge this term, racking up 27 appearances in all competitions.

He has formed a solid centre-back partnership with summer recruit Lisandro Martinez, with the pair of them acting as the bedrock to United's improvements this season. With their respective qualities, they have formed a partnership so impressive that it could be Ten Hag's first-choice central-defensive pairing for several years to come.
