Patrice Evra, Man Utd Legend, Says There’s a Major Hint That ‘Something Is Wrong’ for Raphael Varane at Old Trafford
Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has raised concerns over the absence of Raphael Varane from the team’s starting line-up in recent matches. The French centre-back has not been seen in the starting eleven since October’s Champions League clash against Copenhagen, with manager Erik ten Hag attributing his absence to a sore back. However, Evra insists that there must be something more serious going on, especially after seeing Luke Shaw fill in at centre-back in his place. In an interview with Amazon Prime, Evra expressed his disbelief at the situation, stating that it makes no sense to omit a player of Varane’s calibre without a valid reason. The former full-back believes that the recent team selections are cause for concern and that it is imperative for Varane to be back in his rightful position.
Patrice Evra, a legend of Manchester United, has expressed concern over the absence of Raphael Varane in the team. Varane missed the 2-1 victory over Chelsea due to a sore back, but Evra believes there may be more to the story.
Despite being a four-time Champions League winner, Varane has not been included in the starting line-up for several matches. Evra questioned the decision to use Luke Shaw as a centre-back instead of utilizing Varane in his natural position.
Evra emphasized that using Shaw as a centre-back puts him at risk of injury due to the different movements involved in the position. He believes that the team will benefit from having Shaw back in his natural left-back position, while also acknowledging Shaw’s performance in the recent match against Newcastle.
Overall, Evra believes that there is something wrong with the team’s recent selections, especially when it comes to omitting a player of Varane’s caliber without a clear reason.
