Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has claimed that Raphael Varane is “not a great footballer” despite the Frenchman having played a key role in the Red Devils’ recent renaissance.
The Frenchman has now been at Old Trafford for over a year, having moved from Real Madrid last summer. He endured a tricky debut campaign as a Red Devil, with his inconsistent displays and recurring injuries seeing him unable to hit his top form.
Since then, the four-time Champions League winner has struck up an excellent understanding with summer arrival Lisandro Martinez. The pair have been a huge reason behind United’s run of four consecutive Premier League victories ahead of this weekend’s Manchester derby.
