Raphael Varane lifts lid on why he left Manchester United: 'The project didn't suit me'
Briefly

At the start of my last season at Manchester United, I was already telling myself that I would have liked to finish there, to extend the adventure [there] a little further. It didn't happen and the summer was very eventful. With United, I finished with a victory in the FA Cup, but I already knew that the club's project didn't suit me.
Since the age of 20, I've played with a sword of Damocles hanging over my right knee. Managing pressure, knowing my body, knowing when to push the machine, I've mastered it perfectly. But over the last three years, I've only injured my left knee. My right knee had become strong, but less mobile, and my left knee did everything, for power, starts, and impulses.
I was looking for something special, and that's how I found Como. Como was a project that stood out, it wasn't exotic nor financially [rewarding] but humanly it made sense, and it still does, since I'm going to stay by their side. I also wanted to play only once a week.
