Raphael Varane: Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and France defender retires aged 31
Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and France defender Raphael Varane has retired from football at the age of 31.
Varane joined Italian side Como on a free transfer in July but suffered a knee injury on his debut against Sampdoria last month.
The centre-back says he will stay at the club in a non-playing role.
“I hold myself to the highest standard, I want to go out strong, not just holding on to the game,” he wrote on Instagram. “It takes a big dose of courage to listen to your heart and your instinct.”
