Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick was full of praise for Raphael Varane ahead of the club’s Premier League encounter at Burnley tonight.
The Frenchman had been a long-term target for the Red Devils and eventually switched to Old Trafford from Real Madrid last summer.
Varane has since experienced a stop-start season amid multiple injuries, but Rangnick believes centre-back is now getting back to his best form.
Speaking ahead of the Turf Moor visit, Rangnick said that Varane has got over his injury troubles and emphasised that he did extremely well before being substituted against Middlesbrough last week.
The German tactician added that it was probably his best game and is hopeful the defender can replicate the same level of performance in the forthcoming matches.
He told ManUtd.com: “I think he has arrived – he seems to be physically fit, he has no issues with injuries anymore.
“I thought until he had to be substituted against Middlesbrough, he did extremely well, together with Harry.
“He played probably his best game, knowing it was a Championship team but a very ambitious Championship team, and I’m happy to have him back for tomorrow’s game.
“Hopefully we can have him in the same fitness shape and in the same form that he’s played Middlesbrough for the next upcoming games.”
