Good night, sweet prince
What an elite career this guy had. Take Rest now Mr. Rolls Royce you deserve it.
We will always have Wembley.
Bring him back to the club in any capacity.
He genuinely wanted to be at United, was so passionate. Shame his body was fucked.
Still remember his debut for Madrid, what a career
Feel bad for him but what a career he’s had. Wonder if he has any interest in coaching/management, guess we’ll see.
What a career, many trophies were raised and victories celebrated. o7
Smart decision his body can’t take it anymore. Hope he can enjoy every day life without pain.
incredible career. we were fortunate to get some great moments with him representing the club on the field, and i’m glad he was able to win some silverware with us.

Varane had a legendary career, he can rest now.
Though Phil Jones and Varane announcing retirement within 2 months forced by injury, It’s a shame. But it shows our current management is low key ruthless and right.
I hope he becomes a coach at united
Top professional
He had won everything with Madrid & France NT, including 4 UCLs and 1 World Cup.
He won Carabao & FA Cup with us (trophies Madrid could only dream of :P).
I wanted to watch him play for Como this season, but yeah, his body might finally give up.
Good luck with whatever you wanna pursue after your retirement, Varane! ❤️
So glad that he could have one last hooray with us winning the FA Cup. It’s almost like the stars had aligned getting him and Lisandro’s partnership back that day.
Varane is just class on and off the pitch. Wish we had him for more seasons.
Dream achieved at least

What dya mean, we’ve got a contract for 300k pw ready to go 😩
Probably put his body through hell to make the fa cup final and then dropped a 10 out 10 and pocketed Haaland in the process like the king he is
Boy am I glad he won a few cups with us as well. Hands down, when he was available? he was still an absolutely top CB for us and was important to our team.
Will never say a bad word about this man, he did everything perfect, loved United and the issues were beyond his control.
Wasn’t long but I’m so glad we had him.
It’s honestly crazy how a concussion when he was a top 5 cb in the world, snowballed into multiple injuries and his eventual retirement . Sucks, but man was he electric when he played. We got him at the perfect time but injuries prevented him from maintaining his form.
Sad to say, but I see Shaw going this route soon. Probably in a year or 2.
I’ll always remember the absolute blinder of a first game he had against Wolves. They had completely overrun us in midfield and attack but he was sensational that day and did so much defensive work. Then he also ended up assisting the winner.
Had a hell of a career
I’m so happy I got to see him play for my club and lift a trophy in his final game. They don’t make very many defenders with as much class as him anymore, Merci Rapha!
Top top guy. Can never fault him for not playing a a s much as he and we would’ve liked. Always looked class whenever he was on the pitch. Absolute King
I’m just so glad we got two (even if it was piecemeal at the end) seasons from him. The perfect defender.
Raffa, take a bow. Wonderful career
Bro is a winner. Won everything there is.
Shame couldn’t join us sooner man, truly a rolls royce defender. Closest thing we’ve got to rio man
His icon card will cook in FC26 🤩
