Man United fans react to top-quality Raphael Varane display vs Spurs

Man United fans were buzzing with Raphael Varane, who was quality upon his return to the team vs Spurs.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pulled it out of the bag when he needed it most yet again. Credit where it’s due, our Baby Faced Assassin changed up the formation and team – and it worked a treat.

Although Spurs were in a similar situation to ourselves, United looked like by far and away the best team on the day. One thing is abundantly clear – they’re still playing for the manager.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani will rightly scoop the headlines after their brilliant link-up together, but we’ve picked out Raphael Varane as the standout.

It’s no coincidence that we look far more solid when he’s back there. He’s a proper classy defender who breeds confidence for those around him.

Headers, tackles, positional awareness. Varane did it all at an extremely high level, keeping Harry Kane and company quiet for ninety minutes.

The former Real Madrid man is experienced enough to know exactly what it takes to win on a game-by-game basis. It was special watching him operate, guide his teammates through the game and then showing the passion in his celebrations at full-time. This man absolutely gets it.

Hopefully, the injuries are now behind him and our French centre-half can really press on as we start to push up the table. He really has been a big miss over the last few games.

As you’d imagine, United fans would heap the praise on the 28-year-old, who was outstanding throughout vs Spurs. It really was great to have him back.
