Raphael Varane told on Manchester United hompage for the first time about the new manager Erik Ten Hag.
According to the French midfielder, he is very optimistic about the prospects of the Red Devils next season.
“It’s a new season, a fresh start, so everyone is very excited to hear about the new manager.” Varane said.
“Obviously, we want to play well and win every game, so the whole team will have to prepare well for the new season and I think it’s important that we train hard and be ready.” Varane added.
By the end of April, United had dropped out of the Champions League qualification race under interim manager Ralf Ragnick.
United finished 6th in the Premier League standings and qualified for the Europa League in 2022/23 after a difficult season.
United have their new permanent manager in place. Erik ten Hag will take the reins at Old Trafford having signed a contract potentially running until 2026.
The Dutch will be aiming to get United back into the Champions League, though a run in the cup would be nice because it’s been five years since United won a trophy.
“I really look forward to doing this job, at this club with massive history, and we want to restore it where it belongs,” Ten Hag said.
“First of all, we want to make the fans proud. Second, of course we are in this moment, the current situation is obviously not that good.
“It’s a big challenge. I want to build and construcy a team who are battling for each other, who are unified and who will get results.
“Also we are playing in the Theatre of Dreams. We want to entertain. But in the end, the intention is to play fantastic football. If we can’t play fantastic football, we still have to win.” he added.
