Gary Neville SLAMS Raphael Varane for being 'found out' at Man United

Gary Neville has slammed Raphael Varane for being 'found out' at Manchester United.

Varane arrived at the club last year with high hopes having won four Champions League titles and a World Cup during his time with Real Madrid and France.

But he has underwhelmed during his time at Old Trafford, and has been in and out of the team under Erik ten Hag, with the likes of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans often preferred to the 30-year-old.

'He has gone under the radar,' Neville said. 'For his career, and he’s not the only one, I agree someone like him with the big matches and tournaments that you’d expect a lot, lot more.

'Something has happened, there's been a fall out, it doesn’t give me confidence.

'With defenders you look at if they are they a first or second centre back. He’s second, he likes the other to be dominant and he had that at Real Madrid.

'I think he’s been found out a bit. He’s not the dominant leader type you talk about.'

Neville referenced a potential fall out between Varane and Ten Hag, which has seen the defender relegated to the bench in a number of recent games.

He was recalled to the first team for the first time in seven weeks as United limped to a 1-0 defeat in the Champions League as they were knocked out of the competition on Tuesday, finishing bottom of their group.

Neville, meanwhile, has warned United of another
