Raphael Varane will be leaving Manchester United at the end of the season, the club announced on Tuesday.
Getting the 31-year-old's £340,000-per-week salary off the books is a major boost for the Red Devils' Financial Fair Play situation.
Meanwhile, most supporters believe they've never got to see Varane's best in a Man United shirt due to injuries that plagued his Old Trafford spell.
Pow67 (all reactions via /r/RedDevils): "Streets won't forget the special but short-lived Varane and Martínez partnership."
GavinLobo7: "Too many injuries robbed us of a genuinely classy player. Really wish things turned out differently as he was so good for us when he played."
Gbuchanan1: "I'm glad to get so many wages freed up particularly as he couldn't play often enough, but very sad to see him go."
nomadiclives: "We did rather well offering him a relatively short contract and culling it when it became evident the injuries were here to stay."
7evenStrings: "It's a shame we didn’t get him when he was younger. I remember Fergie supposedly being a fan and that we may have been in for him before he joined RM."
