Raphael Varane Blames 2 Manchester United Players For Defeat
Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has reportedly slammed two of his teammates for failing to greet the club’s supporters following their humiliating 7-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
According to reports, young stars Alejandro Garnacho and Antony Elanga were the two players who refused to acknowledge the away supporters after the final whistle. Raphael Varane, who is known for his leadership qualities, was visibly angry and pointed at the two players, instructing them to walk over to the away section.
It has also been reported that Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia also failed to clap United’s away fans and headed straight to the tunnel after the match.
The defeat to Liverpool was one of the worst in Manchester United’s history and has led to widespread criticism of the team’s performance. The players’ actions after the game have only added fuel to the fire, with fans and pundits alike questioning their commitment to the club.
Raphael Varane, who joined Manchester United from Real Madrid last 2 seasons, is known for his no-nonsense approach and his willingness to hold his teammates accountable. His actions at Anfield are a clear indication that he is not willing to accept anything less than 100% commitment from his fellow players.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will be hoping that Varane’s leadership qualities can help to turn the team’s fortunes around after the momentary slip following a good run of form.
The defeat to Liverpool moves the Merseyside team closer to the top 4 but dents Manchester United’s hope of a Premier League title challenge. The team will need to quickly regroup if they are to have any chance of finishing in the top four this season.
