Manchester United emerged 2-0 victors on the final day of the Premier League season against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Erik ten Hag’s side spoiled Roberto De Zerbi’s leaving part at the Amex, with goals from Diogo Dalot and Rasmus Hojlund ensuring Manchester United finished the 23/24 campaign on a high.
It will have been an unconfirmed farewell to the Premier League for multiple players, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos mob firmly poised for a huge summer clearout at Old Trafford.
One of the names we definitely know will be departing is Raphael Varane. The five-time Champions League winner said his Premier League goodbyes against the Seagulls.
Raphael Varane says goodbye to the Premier League
It was confirmed in the second week of May that Varane would be leaving Manchester United for good at the end of the season, with the Red Devils choosing not to extend the French veteran’s contract.
It was a decision that divided many and is ultimately a very sad one given the immense passion Varane has shown to the club despite his short tenure around Carrington.
The Premier League are losing a footballing great, who has pretty much won every trophy that the game has to offer over his storied career.
Alas, all good things must come to an end. Following the victory at the Amex, Varane took to Instagram to send a goodbye message to the league, but also look ahead to the FA Cup Final against Manchester City. He wrote: ‘One final Premier League win together ❤️ Wembley next up!! ⚔️’
Diogo Dalot reacts
The player of the match against Brighton, Diogo Dalot, was the first member of the Manchester United first-team squad to react to his post.
The Portuguese full-back had no words but instead commented with a crying emoji and a love heart to bid farewell to the Frenchman in the English top flight.
It’s going to be an emotional final farewell against Manchester City in the FA Cup Final next weekend, let’s just hope the Red Devils can make it a memorable one for Varane and any others that are set to depart.
