​Varane 'very happy' with start to life at Man Utd: Different way of defending

Manchester United defender Raphael Varane suggests he is happy with life in England so far.

The French centre-half signed from Real Madrid in the summer, in a bid to turn United into title contenders.

Despite a series of indifferent results this term, Varane is pleased with his integration into the team and adaptation to the Premier League.

According to L'Equipe, Varane said: "I'm very happy with the start of this adventure. The Premier League is a league known for its intensity.

"There's a different atmosphere, a different general mentality regarding football. It's a different approach and a different experience for me.

"I'm taking pleasure in playing, going out of my comfort zone, finding new bearing with my teammates.

"It's a different way of defending and it's super interesting for me."
