"He is a big player" - Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes excited by club's latest arrival
Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes is excited to welcome the club's newest recruit Raphael Varane.
Speaking to MUTV (via the Manchester Evening News), Bruno Fernandes believes Raphael Varane will have a huge impact at Manchester United. The Portuguese magnifico feels Varane will be a big addition as the French defender is coming from an extremely successful team and is used to winning silverware. Fernandes said:
"As everyone knows he is a big player. As everyone knows when you come to this club you have to make impact. I think Rapha is ready, he played for one of the biggest clubs in the world in the past, he won many trophies and he will come to help us to be better - but at the same time I think he will be helped from Victor, from H, from Phil Jones."
Bruno Fernandes has assured everyone at Manchester United will help Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho settle in before they can contribute towards the season. Fernandes added:
"All of them will help him to settle down in the club, to settle in the country, to the Premier League. We are here to help everyone. Jadon is already an English player, but we are here to help him settle the quickest possible."
Raphael Varane received a hero's welcome at Old Trafford yesterday before Manchester United's opening game against Leeds United. The 28-year-old defender walked out of the tunnel prior to kickoff, holding a Manchester United shirt with the number 19. Varane has won plenty of domestic and European trophies with Real Madrid ( 4 CLs and 4 La Ligas) and will want to continue winning silverware at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have had a stellar transfer window this summer. Apart from Varane, the Red Devils have also signed winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. The English international got a 15 minute cameo off the bench to make his debut.
