Martial: Varane won't need time to settle at Man Utd

Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial has welcomed France teammate Raphael Varane to Old Trafford.

New £42million signing Varane was officially unveiled to the Old Trafford faithful on the pitch before United's 5-1 mauling of Leeds on the opening weekend of the season.

Martial, who won a World Cup alongside the defender for France in 2018, insisted his international team-mate will bring a winning quality to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

"I don't think he [Varane] will need too much time to adapt to his new environment, but I'm there for him for whatever little help or advice he may need," said Martial.

"He has all his experience, he's a player who has won a lot during the time of his career at Real Madrid and also in the French national team, so I am sure he will bring all his powers, as he really is a top player and I know things are going to go well for him here at United."
