Good for us united
The best defender in the Premier league retires from international football
Great news for Manchester United so we can win more trophies…
A true professional putting his country ahead of trying to selfishly trying to set records! ! It's why he does not get the praise or attention as one of the world's best center backs he does not want it ! He is happy knowing he earns his paycheck by doing what he is paid to do ! And that is with a football not on social media or given scripted interviews ! Why are France more successful than England compare those two ! Maguire gets more attention than Messi and actually believes he is underrated some players have forgotten what they are supposed to be doing for a living ! I think they follow the Kardashians ! Varane must be every mangers dream player !
nooooo he is my favourite player… will miss him wearing the france jersey but this means he's committed to man u so I guess its good 🙁
I was abit shocked when I saw this news break but I guess it's understandable. I mean he's literally won everything so retiring from international football will hopefully help him prolong his playing career at United where he'll have more recovery time to rest & prepare etc. He's been a one hell of a reverent to his country & all the French people should be very proud of him
Varane is only 29 but i thought he was like 34. He’s been around forever.
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
good, now i can finally have some play time
Lovely lady, BTW. Beautiful
Stop saying veron from Manchester United who is great at real Madrid not in Manchester
How man utd now
That's our Saliba in then 😛
Best cb in the world win fit😁
Great player deserve a great moment
He deserves the rest from international duty.
no problem we have upamecano and saliba🔥
It's Saliba time then.
Legend 🫡🎉🙏🏼 “just 29” for a Varane is like 250 for a normie maybe? French marble for the ages 🫶🏼
Good player know when to exit the stage. Well done
Good news for United fans
It’s a shame for France national team but I’m a Man Utd fan so………….🤷♂️😂
His priorities are elsewhere😏
Good for man United.
Wow his won a World Cup 90 plus caps is right time for him retire as united I’m happy he rest focus on us
News reporter looking 💯
He can now play more 5years for man utd
As a British United fan, DON'T LET THIS MAN GO UNNOTICED as this "decent 2nd Ramos follower CB" that many rivals and media outlets tried saying. ELITE level Centre Back Raphael Varane Currently 4x UCL, 1 x WC, 3x LaLiga and now about to add an English trophy to his cabinet with the Carabao. Show some respect to a World class Centre Back a blessing to UNITED👏🏼👏🏼🇫🇷
I will never forget this reporter,She’s a Hardcore United fan and was on MUTV back in the day
I misread this so badly I thought he was retiring from football at 28 💀💀
Bros won like half the UCL's in the past decade
Too soon, too young. He should consider retirement after another world cup.
Well is so early to call it quit already but maybe he is thinking he has won it all and is about time he gives others the chance to impress, wish him well
After benzema row
I think he is right
WOW……..
We wish him all the best . He knows his body better than any one .
Still can't believe we have him and Casemiro at United!
He's got his cup. Gotta keep his body going to secure that generational wealth…Fair winds sir…
He's scared of stiff competition posed by the young players currently in the French national team. He doesn't like frustrations. Besides, he's won all. He has actually overachieved.
I'm not surprised, in fact it's what I've expected the moment I the wc final ends. Deschamp made a huge youngsters gamble in that match.
Good news for Utd.
He's a top player who will remain at the top for longer without having the France team to worry about.
Varane is an old fashioned gentleman of a footballer, a breed of footballer that is close to becoming extinct. I'm really not sure that playing with the new Mbappé generation is a thing that he cherishes.
he is a great def.but he is only 29 idk why he left
He could of at least make it to 100caps before retiring.
I’m very happy with Partey and Saliba, but United did a great job getting Varane and Casemiro.
One of the greatest players ever! Won literally everything. Premier league is next!
Why is he retiring at a young age
The best centre back in world football. His reading of the game and positioning is unmatched amongst current defenders. Rarely makes a last ditch tackle just knows where to be.
Enjoy your international retirement varane
