Man Utd star confirms he will be leaving this summer

Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has confirmed that he will be leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of June.

The centre-back has been a key player for the Red Devils for the past three years, but he will depart after the club opted against a renewal.

United had the option to extend his stay for another year on his current £340,000-a-week wages, but they decided against it.

No talks were held over a new deal with a pay-cut and Varane will now pursue a new challenge away from the Mancunian giants.

Varane is currently on the radar of multiple Saudi Pro League clubs, but he could prefer a return to his hometown club in Lens this summer.

Lens manager has already opened the door for his homecoming, though he would need to accept an astronomical pay-cut to rejoin them.

The Ligue 1 outfit currently don't pay more than £35,000-a-week to any player. Varane's decision to return could be well received.
