“In pre-season we took a decision to build him physically” - Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag on Rapahel Varane’s pre-season training program

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag revealed last month that Varane had been put on a special training program ahead of the 2022/23 season. The results have been there for everyone to see as the France international has been a rock at the back for the side.

He has started all four of United’s wins in the Premier League this season, alongside Martinez, who arrived from Ajax earlier this summer.

Manchester United’s next assignment is a Europa League trip to Moldova, where they will face Sherrif in their second group stage match of the competition. The Red Devils’ opening Europa League match resulted in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad.
