Raphaël Varane’s Position On Rumoured Manager Rift

Erik Ten Hag’s decision to drop Raphael Varane during Manchester United’s recent games has left many fans confused about the manager’s decision.

The reason why Raphael Varane was sent to the bench was explained as a tactical reason by Erik Ten Hag, who has favoured Jonny Evans in recent games.  Jonny Evans, 35, signed with Manchester United on a free transfer after several pre-season training sessions.

United did not have the budget to afford a new centre-back after missing out on Kim Jae, Todibo and Benjamin Pavard. Jonny Evans was considered an important figure and his presence could help boost positivity in the Manchester United dressing room, which has been described as toxic by previous managers.

The Inside Story on Raphaël Varane:

Although Jonny Evans didn’t perform badly in his games, fans still doubted his defensive abilities and preferred Raphael. The Telegraph reported a few days ago that Varane and Erik ten Hag had been arguing and their relationship was currently strained.

However, a recent report from Athletic UK has refuted these rumours, with Raphael Varane accepting Erik Ten Hag’s decision to leave him on the bench in previous games as a tactical decision.

Raphaël Varane’s Transfer Talk:

Raphael Varane has attracted a lot of interest from Saudi Arabia, but he currently has no plans to join the Saudi league at this stage of his career and would prefer to play in Europe for a little longer.

However, given his recent injury history, Manchester United will be more than willing to cash in on Raphael Varane.
