In great difficulty Tuesday evening during Manchester United’s defeat against Galatasaray in the Champions League (2-3), Raphaël Varane displays a level of play which, according to some, will never again be as good as before.
If Manchester United has once again sunk and disappointed his supporters, it is of course but only his fault. But Tuesday evening, after a champions League match lost at home by the Red Devils against Galatasaray (2-3), it was clear that Raphaël Varane’s performance had not been up to par either. Slow in his movements, often out of time and regularly overwhelmed by events, the French defender was not there. Enough to confirm the fears of certain observers.
First there was Paul Scholes to openly worry about the performances of the former France team. The legendary Manchester United midfielder turned consultant declared: “ I’m a little worried about Varane. I think his legs are a little lethargic and he can’t keep himself in shape. » A clear opinion taken up by Pierre Bouby on the channel The Team. The consultant and former footballer did not show more optimism and even added to the level of concern.
“Not both legs at the same height”
“ I quite agree. Honestly, Varane for a while, every time I see him, he limps. I feel like he doesn’t have both legs at the same height. It’s very, very, very weird. I don’t see him regaining his level and I see him slowly but surely wasting away because he has knee problems that are bothering him. You have to admit it. » For the moment, the Frenchman retains the confidence of his trainer. Erik ten Hag who doesn’t have many other choices anyway since Lisandro Martinez is injured and absent for several months, Harry Maguire continues to disappoint the supporters and Victor Lindelöf doesn’t shine either during his appearances.
