The French midfielder brings certainty and stability to Man United’s defense. Impressive competition day for the 30-year-old star.
Man United has put some heat into the Premier League top 4 race. Erik ten Hag and his team won 2-1 against Luton Town , thereby shortening the gap with the 4th ranked team, Aston Villa, to five points.
Rasmus Hojlund became the bright spot in Man United’s attack this match. The Danish striker brilliantly scored a double goal after only 7 minutes of rolling the ball. The impressive performance helped Hojlund go down in history as the youngest player to score in 6 consecutive Premier League matches.
Besides Hojlund, another factor of Man United deserves praise after the victory against Luton Town. That’s Raphael Varane. The French midfielder was assigned by Erik ten Hag to start from the start, alongside Harry Maguire in the center of the defense.
Man United beat Luton Town 2-1.
Varane played the full 90 minutes, delivering an excellent performance . Extensive experience in fighting at the top helps the 30-year-old player always appear promptly at hot spots in the 16m50 Man United area. Varane’s calmness brings peace of mind and stability in front of Andre Onana’s goal.
Statistical data proves Varane ‘s impressive day . Throughout 90 minutes, the 30-year-old ‘rock’ had 5 successful clearances, 2 accurate interceptions, 1 tackle, not letting the opponent pass him once…..
” Confidence has returned. Now, Man United can smell the taste of the top 4, the Champions League. Spurs stumbled yesterday, clearly the victory over Luton Town brings a lot of meaning to Man United . It’s not easy for the Red Devils to achieve the current results, ” Jamie Redknapp commented on Sky Sports.
Varane had an impressive day.
Man United’s hope of reaching the top 4 will depend on the performance and performance of its pillars. Varane is one of the solid fulcrums in the current Red Devils defense.
With Lisandro Martinez out due to injury, Ten Hag needs to put his trust in Varane. Despite his future being threatened in the first half of the season, Varane still shined when his team needed him the most.
At the decisive stage of the season, Varane promises to be very useful to Man United. The presence of the 30-year-old star is like a guarantee for Onana’s goal. The former Real Madrid star can play well alongside any partner in defense.
Man United rekindles hopes of racing for the top 4.
Right at the beginning of the second half, Ten Hag decided to take Maguire off and bring Jonny Evans onto the field. It didn’t take long for Varane to connect, forming a great partner alongside Evans.
” Evans has played excellently since coming on the field to replace Maguire. He headed everything from Luton Town’s crosses into the Man United penalty area, ” commented journalist Sam Blitz.
Varane’s performance promises to have a significant impact on Man United’s defensive performance in the coming period. Solid defense is the foundation that helps Ten Hag’s team realize their plan to enter the top 4.
