‘Outstanding’: Danny Murphy says £340,000-a-week Manchester United player was brilliant vs Liverpool
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has shared his positive assessment of Manchester United central defender Raphael Varane following the goalless draw against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Anfield.
Despite not being one of the standout matches in the Premier League this season, Manchester United surprised many by securing a draw and maintaining a clean sheet at Anfield.
Varane, who has faced criticism and injury setbacks this season, delivered an impressive performance, catching the attention of Murphy.
Speaking on Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel, Murphy expressed his admiration for Varane, stating, “I thought Varane was outstanding.
It begs the question of why he has not played more for Erik ten Hag at Man United.”
Recognized as one of the world’s best and most dependable defenders, Varane’s capabilities were evident during his time at Real Madrid. While he may not reach the peak form seen in Madrid, the 30-year-old remains a formidable asset.
Despite questions surrounding his limited playing time under Erik ten Hag, Varane showcased his defensive prowess against Liverpool by dominating aerial duels, thwarting attacks, and displaying leadership qualities at the heart of United’s defense.
