French defender Raphael Varane is reportedly going to announce his retirement from international football.

The Manchester United star, was a key figure in helping Les Bleus lift the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and has also made 93 caps over a decade for his country.

Le Parisien though have reported that Varane will retire so that he can solely focus on club football, after suffering a number of injuries in recent seasons.

His retirement would continue to mark the end of an era for Les Bleus, after Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris also announced his retirement from international duty last month.
