Despite having to fight with France in the World Cup final and even suffering a minor injury at the end of the game, Varane soon returned to Carrington and played in the recent match against Nottingham Forest.
Varane is really classy.
Varane’s return is essential, in the context that Lisandro Martinez is still absent, and Harry Maguire is in mild pain. The former Real Madrid star played 76 minutes and helped the home team keep a clean sheet.
Speaking after the Reds’ 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, coach Ten Hag said: “I spoke to Raphael yesterday, he is like that and he is responsible.
That’s why Raphael is so successful and won so many titles. He is very important to the team, to me. He told me directly that he was ready.
I think Raphael has shown once again his great personality, the great standards he brought to Man United when he returned from the World Cup. We had problems at centre-back, he was in charge of the game and he performed very well.”
