Not Varane or Dalot – Paul Scholes singles out one Manchester United star for dominant display in Liverpool draw
In a recent interview with Caught Offside, Fabrizio Romano showered praise on Manchester United’s Raphael Varane, highlighting his stellar performance in their 0-0 draw against Liverpool.
Romano commended Varane’s resilience, emphasizing that he deserved the chance and delivered brilliance on the field.
Romano acknowledged the collective effort of Manchester United’s defensive line, operating seamlessly as a unit during the challenging match.
While the defense showcased cohesion, Romano expressed that if the attacking side mirrored the same synchronization, the outcome might have favored the Red Devils more convincingly.
The journalist praised Manchester United for delivering a commendable performance under difficult circumstances, defying expectations.
Varane, previously subject to transfer rumors, may find a renewed place in the team following his standout display against Liverpool.
Romano shared his thoughts on Varane’s performance, stating, “Credit as well to Raphael Varane, who had a fantastic game and gave a great reaction after a few difficult months of not playing.
He deserved this chance and he was brilliant.”
While acknowledging the pivotal contributions of Jonny Evans, Diogo Dalot, and Luke Shaw in the defense, Romano emphasized Varane’s timely resurgence, marking a crucial turning point in his season.
Despite expressing admiration for Manchester United, Romano recognized Liverpool’s unluckiness, hinting that the outcome might have differed on another day.
Erik ten Hag’s strategic approach proved effective, and the Red Devils nearly capitalized on opportunities to breach Alisson Becker’s goal, securing an overall satisfactory result.
As Varane’s defensive masterclass potentially influences the decision-making process, the Manchester United hierarchy faces a significant choice regarding the player’s future.
The team now stands at a juncture where they must build on positive aspects and address shortcomings to mount a comeback in the Premier League.
