’He’s bang average’ Tim Sherwood tears into United defender

Tim Sherwood tore into Raphael Varane labelling him as ‘bang average’.

The former Tottenham manager has not been impressed with the performances of the French defender this season.

Varane’s form has slowly declined since arriving at Old Trafford and he hasn’t been helped by the string of injuries which he has consistently picked up.

In an interview with William Hill, Sherwood slammed the former Real Madrid player.

“One player that really annoys me is Raphael Varane. I think he is getting away with it. He is never fit and when he is fit he’s bang average.

“We all know he’s had a great career but at the same time everyone is happy to jump on the back of Harry Maguire whilst Varane just gets away with it.

“The ones who play more football are simply more durable and they can play week in week out, Varane seems to play once and then be injured again for two weeks. He seems to be picking his games, but when he plays he’s not that brilliant anyway.”
