Raphael Varane sends message after finally scoring first Man Utd goal

Raphael Varane admitted that netting his Manchester United goal was "special" after United cruised to a comprehensive 3-0 win over Brentford on Monday night.

The 29-year-old broke his Old Trafford duck to seal a routine win over the Bees in United's final home match of the season. Bruno Fernandes had fired the hosts into an early lead, before Cristiano Ronaldo doubled that advantage on the hour mark. Varane's strike 10 minutes later sealed the points for United - who bagged their biggest win under interim chief Ralf Rangnick.

Varane's thumping late volley ensured the ex-Real Madrid man opened his account for United in style. The World Cup winner was making his 28th appearance for the club he joined in a £36million deal last summer - and he could hardly hide his delight after the match.
