Manchester United centre-back Raphael Varane has admitted that he is benefitting from the experience of playing in the Premier League following his move to Old Trafford last summer.
The France international, who is yet to score his first goal in United colours, joined the club in a big-money deal from Spanish giants Real Madrid exactly six months ago, ending United's long-term search for a top-level centre-back.
Although injury troubles have hampered the former Madrid's man progress so far at the club, he has, when fit and available, proven to be the exact sort of figure that United were missing, producing a string of impressive performances in the heart of the defence.
