Manchester United star Paul Pogba believes his compatriot Raphael Varane is settling in nicely at Old Trafford after signing from Real Madrid for £41 million.
Speaking to Manchester United's official channels, Pogba stated that Varane does not need his help to settle in at the club as he has already mingled well with the squad. He said:
"I think he doesn’t need me to settle in.He just settles in by himself. He is someone very mature, a very good guy. I think you can see he is very good with everyone already. He is really good in the changing room, which is very important in football."
“He’s a top man, a top player and brings his experience, his quality and his personality, even outside the pitch, to help the team."
Raphael Varane was unveiled in front of a packed Old Trafford before Manchester United's opening game against Leeds United. The 28-year-old has been given the number 19 shirt for his debut season with the Red Devils.

Raphael Varane is in line to make his Manchester United debut this weekend when the Red Devils travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The four-time Champions League winner was part of the Red Devils squad that travelled to Southampton last weekend. However, he was an unused substitute in that game.
