Defender Raphael Varane has waxed lyrical about the importance of Manchester United's supporters, admitting that he would like to experience attending a match sat among them.
The Frenchman, who has been a colossus at the back for United this season, playing a key role in the club's resurrection under Erik ten Hag, joined the Reds from Real Madrid in August 2021 and quickly cemented himself as a fans' favourite. He has regularly interacted with the supporters from the pitch, highlighted by his reaction at the end of United's 2-1 win over neighbours Manchester City at Old Trafford earlier this month.
Having spent a decade at Madrid, Varane, who was an unused substitute during Wednesday night's 3-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, is used to playing in front of passionate supporters, meaning the desire and desperation to win from United's fans is no strange feeling to him. And he has now addressed their passion, admitting that he would like to watch a game with them.
