Talking point: Varane the unlikely hero

Varane scored five times in 93 caps before retiring from international football for France.

During his Real Madrid days, he hit the net 17 times in total, from 360 matches for the Bernabeu giants. He also grabbed a couple for his first club Lens, from only 24 appearances.

It is encouraging to see a defender off the mark already for United, as it is an area where we can definitely hope for more of an output in 2023/24. 

Let’s see what next weekend, at Tottenham Hotspur, will conjure up.
