"Everybody at United thanks Rapha for his service and wishes him well for the future."

The Frenchman also released a message to United fans via social media following the initial announcement.

"I fell in love with the club and the fans. You have to play for Man United to understand what that represents," Varane said.

"I’ll see you all at Old Trafford to say goodbye for the last game at home this season.
