But having made just one appearance for his new team, he is now set for a long spell on the sidelines.
Varane recently suffered a serious knee injury and was left out of Como’s Serie A squad as a result.
With his future at the club now in doubt, he is understood to be considering retirement.
Fabrizio Romano claims he could announce his decision this week.
Varane spent three years at Man Utd after joining in a £42million transfer from Real Madrid.
During that time he made 95 first team appearances and scored two goals.
The most successful period of his career came with Los Blancos in Spain.
Varane made 360 appearances for Real Madrid during his 10-year spell with the club.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
He also won three La Liga titles and four Champions League titles.
The centre-back retired from international duty back in February 2023 having been capped 93 times by the French national team.
He said: “Representing our great country for a decade has been one of the greatest honors of my life.
“Each time I wore this special blue jersey, I felt immense pride.
“The duty to give everything, to play with my heart and to win every time we entered the field.
“I have been considering this for several months and have decided that it is the right time for me to retire from international football.”
