Manchester United defender Raphael Varane says he's far happier this season at Old Trafford.

The France international has opened up about the club's difficult season last time out, insisting that the team have made a positive start to the new season.

"I'm very happy. I'm enjoying it a lot. Last season was irregular for me. This start to the season, we're getting good results, taking pleasure in playing, in fighting together," Varane told reporters.

"I also came to England to live emotions like that, and every game is a battle, a challenge. I like it. Being able to play regularly, having had a full pre-season, allows me to feel good on the pitch."
