A true champion
If we consider the class through titles, not a single contract of M.U since Sir Alex retired has reached Rafael Varane's level.
Leaving La Liga after 10 years playing for Real Madrid, Varane has 4 Champions Leagues, 3 La Lhas, 1 FIFA World Cup and a series of other big and small titles. In all criteria for comparing the word "level", Varane is much better than those who have arrived at Old Trafford for the past 8 years. Along with that, he has won more titles than anyone currently playing for M.U.
The Manchester United squad has many good players, reaching the top star position in each position such as Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba or Edinson Cavani. However, in the past 3 years, these players have not been able to lift the trophy regularly. Most recently, Pogba won the 2018 World Cup with Varane.
M.U have lost four semi-finals and one final since Solskjaer took charge. As for Varane, he has not lost any major final in his career since joining Real. With someone who knows how to win the final in the squad, the "Red Devils" will have the practical experience of a player, instead of trying in a way that is not in their own way.
Varane is the final piece for the defensive formation
Maguire is good but also has a weakness, which is speed. In a quick counter-attack by the opponent, the Manchester United captain often fell into difficult situations. This will be resolved when Varane appears. Although playing in central defense, the French star's speed was out of the table. He is often a high-choice player, participates in set pieces and returns to the home team's field as quickly as possible.
Speaking of attack, if Maguire is a true "trump", M.U will have another when Varane appears. The opponent now not only has to worry about the "Red Devils" captain, but they also have to pay attention to his partner. This image makes M.U fans think of the Ferdinand - Vidic pair in the past.
With Varane, Man United's wingers Shaw and Wan-Bissaka could be more assured in the uptrends. Although they are full-backs, attack is a very strong point of these two stars. With Varane, Maguire is more assured on the one hand, on the other hand, De Gea's goal is also more secure because the French midfielder will cover very well right behind the defensive midfielder and the threats from the two wings.
Varane is not without weaknesses. In some situations when he was playing for Real, if the opponent used passes to penetrate the middle, his ability to predict his position was not really good. This will be sealed with Maguire. Although the English midfielder is slow, he has good judgment and can replenish his new teammate.
