Man United mistake, De Gea lesson - Raphael Varane transfer truth clear

Manchester United have confirmed Raphael Varane will be leaving the club this summer after three years at the club.

"When the fans go to Wembley it's something they remember for life," he added, ahead of our latest trip to the national stadium on 25 May, to face Manchester City in the Emirates FA Cup final. To share that moment with them was absolutely amazing. And on his day he contributed to this team. At his best and when fit he remains a superb central defender, as smooth on the ball as he is off it. But fitness was his Achilles heel at Old Trafford.

This season, for example, he has played just 21 times in the Premier League and 30 times in all competitions. He is simply not reliable enough. However, like Casemiro, it is no longer viable to have him at the club. Varane spent a high proportion of matches injured and considering he is one of the highest earners at United, that was not good enough to move the club forward.

Ultimately though Varene's time at United cannot be deemed a success with just a Carabao Cup to his name. The club may have qualified for the Champions League on several occasions but that is no great achievement for a player who has won so much during a glittering career. That Varane hasn't been able to achieve what was imagined is not solely down to him. Very few players arrive at Old Trafford and succeed these days. That United couldn't get the best out of Varane is more damning of the club than Varane not reaching the heights with United is of the player. When will this cycle end?
