Raphael Varane has explained why he signed for Manchester United.

The France defender is in his second season at Old Trafford after arriving from Real Madrid.

“It was a great moment," he said.

“It's a huge club with some of the best fans in the world and the history of the club is something special.

“Everything [about the club], the spirit, the philosophy, the passion around the club, it is something very special and different."

On the United shirt, he also said: “I like this one because it's a bit old school! I like the collar.

“When I wear it, I feel I have to give 100 per cent of myself and everything on the pitch. I can't give up and when I wear the shirt I feel that mentality."
