Raphael Varane insists it was the "right moment" to join Manchester United.

The Frenchman was unveiled as United's latest signing at Old Trafford before the win over Leeds United on Saturday.

Varane spent 10 years at Real Madrid, and admits it was the right time for him to start a new challenge in England.

Asked what feels right about this move, Varane told MUTV: "I think it was a good moment because of a lot of things, but I think the most important one is it's a new challenge and it's a big motivation to start in a new league in a big club like Manchester United.

"This opportunity was amazing for me, so I chose this change for me and my family. They have come with me. You feel when things are a good moment and this was the right moment."
