Defender Raphael Varane stayed behind alone at Old Trafford Stadium after Manchester United’s victory over Newcastle.

Manchester United had a tough match against Newcastle in the rescheduled Round 34 of the Premier League, but ultimately Erik ten Hag’s squad experienced the joy of victory with the impressive performance of their young stars. Besides the impressive display of the young talents, another touching moment occurred after the match.

Specifically, the Manchester United players gathered together to express their gratitude to the fans, including defender Raphael Varane, who didn’t play due to injury. The French player announced his departure from the club after three seasons, and his presence immediately received a warm response from the fans. To capture a lasting memory with the beloved fans, Varane didn’t hesitate to record a memorable moment on his personal phone. Through this gesture, one could observe the affection of the 2018 World Cup champion towards the Old Trafford faithful, and vice versa. Shortly after, the images and videos with the fans were shared on Varane’s personal Instagram page, attracting significant attention.

After all the Manchester United fans left, Varane took some time to sit alone at Old Trafford Stadium. The match against Newcastle was the team’s last home game of the season, and it would be the final opportunity for the former Real Madrid star to breathe in the atmosphere there. This likely explains Varane’s sense of regret and his desire to truly savor the emotional experience.

During his three-year tenure with the Red Devils, Raphael Varane appeared in a total of 84 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist. He also contributed to winning the Carabao Cup in the previous season. Despite being hampered by injuries in the current season, it is undeniable that the former Real Madrid player had a significant impact on Manchester United’s style of play throughout the ups and downs of recent years.
