Raphael Varane slammed for his conduct in Man Utd's win over Arsenal - "It was serious!"

Ex-Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell has vented his frustration over the way Raphael Varane dealt with Gunners star Gabriel Jesus when the pair met at Old Trafford last Sunday.

It was an intriguing contest between the two sides, as while United ran out 3-1 winners Mikel Arteta's side certainly gave as good as they got and actually dominated for large periods of the game. Jesus was a focal point for everything positive from the visitors' perspective and gave Varane one of his toughest tests in recent memory.

Despite the Frenchman's phsycial advantage, Varane struggled to deal with the way Jesus imposed himself on the game and in turn often resorted to cynically fouling the Brazilian international. It must be noted how Varane was not the only player guilty of this, his Red Devils teammates Scott McTominay and Lisandro Martinez also took a physical approach with Jesus on a number of occasions.
