• Varane has made 16 Premier League outings for the Red Devils so far this season, with a further four appearances coming in the Champions League

Manchester United's summer signing, Raphael Varane has been called out by former Premier League player Danny Mills for failing to adapt to the Premier League.

Varane joined Manchester United from Real Madrid last summer for £34million after ten seasons with the Spanish Giants.

According to the Mirror, Mills believes the World Cup winner has struggled with the intensity in the Premier League because the French defender isn't used to such high-level football being played weekly.

"I questioned Varane’s signing when he first came in and whether he could deal with the intensity of our league.

"He had quite a few injury problems.

"In La Liga, you’re probably playing seven or eight tough games a season; in the Premier League, every week is a tough game."

Raphael Varane has made just 22 appearances for Manchester United in all competitions this season, with 16 in the EPL, 4 in the Champions League, and 2 FA Cup appearances.
