“He’s a legend and all players can learn when you play with him.

“It’s a great help for all players, for all young players, and of course he never stops scoring goals, so he will help the team.”

Speaking about his debut for United on Sunday, Varane added, “I was very, very happy to be here and to help the team get this victory,’ said the World Cup winner.

“The feeling is absolutely amazing. The Premier League is very intense.

“The game it’s very fast and you know when you play this game, you are very concentrated and it’s very intense. I came here for that feeling.”
