Manchester United great Jaap Stam criticises Raphael Varane's emotional reaction to injury

Jaap Stam has criticised Raphael Varane for his reaction to suffering an injury against Chelsea, claiming he 'can’t understand being so emotional on the pitch.'

United managed to claim a 1-1 draw at Chelsea on Saturday despite falling behind in the 87th minute through Jorginho's penalty. A fantastic header from Casemiro deep into injury time dragged Erik ten Hag's side level and earned them a point, which was the very least they deserved for another good performance.

A big negative coming out of the match though is that centre-back Varane, who has been forming a resolute partnership with Lisandro Martinez, limped off the pitch with an injury in the 60th minute. It's the second injury the Frenchman has suffered this month alone after he was also taken off in the defeat to Manchester City.
