For several days now, the English press has been reporting the departure of Raphaël Varane from Manchester United, probably at the end of the season. The 30-year-old French defender lost his starting place and has only played 17 minutes since October, with Harry Maguire regaining the favor of coach Erik ten Hag. However, at a press conference, the Dutch coach, whose place is also in danger, took stock of the case of the Frenchman, linked with the Red Devils until 2025.
“Rapha Varane? I don’t know what you’re talking about. These are rumors. Very important player, but there is internal competition and there should be in a top club, like ours. And even when you have two players who are doing brilliantly – Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire – you also have to make a choice for that position., Ten Hag told reporters. Varane will therefore have the opportunity to regain starting status by the end of the season.
