    Raphael Varane similar to Ferdinand – Evra

    Manchester United Champions League winner Patrice Evra has likened Raphael Varane to Rio Ferdinand.

    Departing Real Madrid defender Varane is joining United this week.

    Evra told The Athletic: “Varane reminds me of Rio Ferdinand. Great with the ball, great in the air.

    “He’s the complete centre-back. I remember my first game with (him for) the French national team and I was so impressed.

    “He was so young yet so good with the ball, so fast and his anticipation was perfect.

    “He’s calm with the ball and he can score too. It’s a top, top signing for Manchester United.”

  • Ferguson was desperate to sign Benzema – Ferdinand

    Ferguson was desperate to sign Benzema – Ferdinand

    Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand reveals Sir Alex Ferguson had to be pulled away by Lyon officials to stop him speaking with Karim Benzema.

    United faced off against Benzema’s Lyon in the Champions League back in the 2007/08 season.

    And Sir Alex was a massive fan of the Frenchman, who eventually joined Real Madrid in 2009.

    Speaking about facing Benzema for United back in 2008, Ferdinand told BT Sport: “The first time I played against him, Sir Alex Ferguson wanted to sign him.

    “He was speaking to him in the tunnel after the game and Lyon officials had to pull him away. His movement that day was brilliant.”

    Tuanzebe needs to confront Solskjaer – Ferdinand

    Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand says Axel Tuanzebe needs to be knocking on the office door of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    Ferdinand says a player like Tuanzebe, who has always been spoken of highly, should be asking why he is not playing more.

    He told BT Sport: “I think there has to be a moment in your career where you say, ‘Listen I’ve been here a long time, I’ve done the groundwork, everyone knows what I’m about, and where do I stand in the rankings in the club?’

    “I’d say at the moment, he’s probably fourth-choice. Does he want to play football? He did well against PSG, against world-class opposition, and then he doesn’t play.

    “As a player, surely you’re thinking that you had a taste and you want more.

    “That’s got to be a mindset of a young player – someone who has grown up at United and wants to play football for Man United, you have to find it somewhere.

    “I understand it’s a squad game and there are certain members that play a certain role in the squad.

    “As a kid, he was talked about being the next big thing as a centre-back, surely you want to play and if not, you have to ask yourself questions.”
