DBasia.news – Manchester United unexpectedly succeeded in hijacking Raphael Varane from Real Madrid. The player has a strong reason to accept the proposal of the Red Devils.
Manchester United hijacked Varane from Madrid for around 50 million euros. The French defender was introduced to the public at Old Trafford last weekend.
Madrid’s appeal as the world’s biggest club makes every player dream of playing there. But Varane actually took the less popular decision by leaving Los Blancos at a golden age.
Varane has a strong reason behind the decision to leave Madrid. He could not resist the temptation to defend Manchester United.
“This is a new challenge and a big motivation to start a new league at a big club like Manchester United. This opportunity is great, so I chose this change for me and my family,” Varane told the club’s official website.
“I’ve felt the determination, sincerity and ambition that the coach has to win titles, that’s what motivates me.”
Manchester United is indeed on the right track to restore its reputation as a big club. The arrival of Varane will increase the chances of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team to win the title.
Varane certainly has a winning mentality that he can pass on to his new team-mates. He has helped Madrid win 18 prestigious titles in the last ten years.
Varane Knowledge
Varane has actually been following Manchester United for a long time. He even had time to communicate with Sir Alex Ferguson who intended to bring him in in 2011.
Varane is quite familiar with the star players who have played for Manchester United. He certainly hoped to follow in their footsteps.
“(Nemanja) Vidic and (Rio) Ferdinand are legends. I remember players like Cristiano (Ronaldo), (Ryan) Giggs and (David) Beckham too,” he added.
“They are legends and I am very proud to be a part of this family.”
