The Frenchman also helped to win our first major trophy in six years, when lifting the 2023 Carabao Cup at Wembley Stadium. Newcastle United were shut out in a 2-0 triumph for Erik ten Hag\u2019s men, with Rapha showing all of his experience alongside Lisandro Martinez.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/01hxv9yehsmq3m3mc000.jpg\" alt=\"Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane\" title=\"Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Martinez and Varane formed a fine partnership \/ Marc Atkins\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cThe 31-year-old has scored twice for the Reds, his first goal coming in a home win over Brentford a couple of years ago. Varane\u2019s second effort earned us three points from our 1-0 victory against Wolves, at the opening of this current 2023\/24 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, it is unflappable work at the heart of the defence that Rapha is most recognised for, as he has shown his undoubted quality since joining the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo date, he has made 67 appearances in the Premier League, 58 as a starter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe centre-back has been absent since the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on 4 April but he is currently working hard on his recovery from injury, and hopes to be available again before the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are Premier League matches to come against Newcastle United and Brighton &amp; Hove Albion, before the Emirates FA Cup final versus Manchester City on 25 May.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody at United thanks Rapha for his service and wishes him well for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taking to social media, Varane said: \u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing few years to play for this special club and wear that shirt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fell in love with the club and the fans. You have to play for Man United to understand what that represents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the fact we have had a difficult season, I am very positive for the future.
