In a recent statement, some English pundits have shared their thoughts concerning Manchester United defender Raphael Varane.
According to the viewpoints, manager Ralf Ragnick was urged to drop the Frenchman from being a regular starter. Reason is that the defender has been lethargic ever since his move to Red Devils.
A combination of injuries and a general lack of fitness has made the defender a shadow of what he was at Real Madrid.
Varane and Harry Maguire comparison
When putting into comparison the two defenders who were supposed to become regular starters for United, it is disappointing to see how far below they have fallen.
Even though Maguire has been the major point of critics, some pundits believe it should be Raphael Varane. Considering that he has been the one constantly out of action for the Red Devils.
Varane's statistics
The decline of Raphael Varane began at Real Madrid. During the final months of his contract, he and Sergio Ramos were almost always out of action in Real Madrid.
Forcing Los Blancos to feature the partnership of Militao and Nacho more often. And since both moved to Paris and Manchester respectively, they have struggled with fitness.
Conclusion
Varane would have a lot of work to do if he desires to revive his Manchester United career.
However, considering he has once been a world champion, and a European champion several times, we would not put it past Varane to rediscover his form.
