Raphael Varane has announced his retirement from football aged 31 after sustaining a serious knee injury.

The defender joined Serie A side, Como this summer having left Manchester United at the end of last season after his contract expired.

He signed an initial two-year deal but suffered a serious knee injury just 23 minutes into his debut against Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia.

Later in August, the France international was removed from the club’s squad list for the league season, and the injury has now forced him to call time on his illustrious career.

“They say all good things must come to an end,” Varane wrote in a lengthy Instagram message which revealed his plans for the future.

“A new life begins off the pitch. I will remain with Como. Just without using my boots and shin pads. Something I am looking forward to sharing more about soon.”
