Man Utd midfielder Pogba explains chant for 'Champions League Varane'

Manchester United star Paul Pogba says Raphael Varane is made for the Champions League.

United learnt they will face Villarreal, Atalanta and Young Boys in this season's group stage.

Varane won the competition four times with Real Madrid, which lead to Pogba and his France team-mates chanting 'Champions League Varane' at the 2018 World Cup.

Asked about the chant by MUTV, Pogba said: "That's just Champions League Varane.

"He's made for that, you know? He won four Champions Leagues, he won the World Cup, he won how many trophies? He won La Liga.

"It's great and I'm sure he came here with the goal to win the Premier League. He's very focused, you can tell, and he's determined to help the team as much as he can."
