Raphaël Varane is talking about him again. After going through a complicated period, during which he notably lost his starting place, the French defender is gradually returning to a very interesting level. And today Erik ten Hag can no longer do without him, starting him six times in the Red Devils’ last seven outings.

The Frenchman won 90% of his duels in the air, more than anyone across the Channel. He is ahead of Virgil Van Dijk (83%) and Kristoffer Ajer (78%). A top performance.
