He delivered a solid performance for us last night,if not for Him the scoreline could have been 7-1′: Bruno Fernandez named the Man United player that saved them from humiliation yesterday

He gave an outstanding performance last night; without him, the score could have been 7-1. Bruno Fernandes identified the Manchester United player that prevented them from suffering embarrassment yesterday.

Raphael Varane, the Manchester United center-back, performed well in the 3-1 Premier League derby loss to Manchester City.

Manchester United experienced their second consecutive defeat in the league on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, but there were some encouraging aspects to take away from the match.

Marcus Rashford silenced doubters by scoring a remarkable long-range goal in the eighth minute to take the lead. He might have effortlessly scored two additional goals.

Kobbie Mainoo performed consistently well in the midfield. The adolescent successfully won all of his ground duels and performed admirably against Rodri.

Varane delivered another great performance in defense. He successfully defended against the city attack by making nine clearances and only losing possession three times.

He had a minor lapse against Haaland in the first half, but the World Cup champion performed well defensively with a 90% pass accuracy and won 100% of his aerial duels.

United should engage in new negotiations for Varane’s contract. His current £350,000-a-week term ends in June, and United’s leadership has chosen not to activate a one-year extension clause.

Currently, there are no scheduled discussions; however, we recommend that the club provide a new extended contract with a little reduction in his salary.

When performing at his best, the player, who signed for £34 million, is unquestionably one of the top players in the world. Although his fitness record is not flawless, he is one of United’s top center-backs.

Progress in contract negotiations is anticipated in the upcoming weeks. Jonny Evans, who has exceeded expectations, may be in line for a new contract.

The 36-year-old showed confidence when playing alongside Varane in the central defense but was substituted after 60 minutes due to an injury.
