Welcome back guys! Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign French defender Raphael Varane from Real Madrid. So let’s take a look at how Varane improves Solskjaer’s side. ► SUBSCRIBE to STATMAN DAVE: http://bit.ly/StatmanDaveYoutube Varane is undoubtedly a world class centre back and his signing is something of a coup for Manchester United. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the pinnacle of football for most players and to leave the Spanish giants at your own personal peak says a lot about what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is building. ► CHECK US OUT ON TWITCH: http://bit.ly/SMDTwitch He’s arguably the perfect, experienced partner for Harry Maguire. With a decade of experience playing at the very top level, Varane could help tutor and improve Maguire’s own game, not to mention add valuable experience to a young Manchester United side (25.5 avg age). ► JOIN PATREON: https://bit.ly/StatmanPatreon At Real Madrid, Varane played most of his best games as a cover defender. His agility, recovery pace, reading of the play and tackling ability made him ideal for protecting against the counter attack - defending the wide areas for the advanced full backs and the space directly in behind when Sergio Ramos, acting as a stopper, would step out to engage the opposition. Statman Dave Clips ➡ http://bit.ly/StatmanClips I expect this to continue at Manchester United, with Varane enabling Harry Maguire to be even more aggressive in his stopper duties. This could also see United adopt a higher line out of possession to compress the space the opposition have to play in and allow Maguire to be even more effective, covering less ground before he’s able to make a challenge. A defender of Varane’s quality and pace could also inspire more confidence amongst players who don’t have defensive roles to play expansive passes, knowing that if they don't come off, Varane is well equipped to deal with the counter attack. #ManUtd #MUFC #Varane Do you think Raphael Varane completes Man Utd’s back four?
