  1. Glad he came out and said this. Let’s back Amorim and get these entitled attitudes out of the club. Imagine being paid the annual salary of a CEO per week and ex having the audacity to complain that the coach wants you to play a certain way or run a bit harder.

  2. I never knew varane was this stupid , as a professional and experienced what did he do to help ten hag regain the connection or he himself was the one not along with ten hag? So they wanted ten hag to pet them to play? So there is still a lot of these kind of player who will go again trying to throw amorim under the bus bcoz he seems disciplinarian too

  3. So one-legged varane wanted ten hag to follow his ideas? He organized the anti-ten hag movement knowing it will be difficult for the board to get rid of players rather than the coach? We still have them in the current squad, Amorim must make sure to get rid of them and get players who know their responsibility

  4. Raphael Varane is speaking on behalf of every true Manchester United fan. ETH is the most deluded man that ever lived. No wonder why he chose a petulant child in Bruno to give the captain's armband. INEOS is as incompetent as ETH. ETH should have taken Bruno, Rashford and Antony with him. Two have been sent on loan, why Bruno isn't sent on loan as well is beyond me.

  5. Honestly this is pathetic coming from Varane. You're getting paid millions a year to play for one for one of the biggest clubs in the history of the game, just shut up and take instructions.

  6. ETH doesn't look like he's been good an man management. Why didn't he bond with them?
    Fergie had the players respecting him, describing him as like a 2nd father, it didn't always work but it worked pretty great.

    Again this new guy has a similar standoff-ish way. Where's his charm, wit, intellect, embracing, crafty nature, that Fergie had.

    Again it looks like another bad boardroom hiring decision. They've cost billions in bad decisions. Fans should be able to sue bad club boardroom management and get ticket and TV costs returned.

  7. Varane once again sheds a light on the underlying problem without even realising it, he's called the boss for a reason, you do what he says not the other way around Varane. This whole culture needs to be destroyed at United, sack every player and start over with the youth players and new cheaper signings, i don't care anymore, this needs to end now.
    The problem with United is clear, the players think they're in charge, clash with the managers and then deliberately lose matches to cause the manager to get fired. The way this ends is with a manager that fires the players not the other way around

  8. Before blaming the players, Varane has achieved more than Ten Hag could ever dream and he isn't even a diva. He is a silent leader . So definitely there was some problem with the coach.

  9. Most of you guys have never played futbol at a competitive level but talk and talk about these players like they are robots. A great coach listens watches and then speaks, tweaks, or adapts his system. Of course reinforces with players that suit his style but I also believe you need transitional players that can be molded in meantime until the squad gets up to the level desired by coach. Everyone expects to buy a top player and make an impact, if that was easy every team would save their season every year with a couple of simple transfers.

  10. And you wonder why this once great club is where it is now! Players thinking there bigger then the club and refuse to accept a managers way of doing things and playing to his system. Rotten mentality

  11. We shall continue loving our Club until the right people get in place.Even if its how many yrs we shall always wait.I cant believe players think the club is theirs rather than knowing what to do when required of it.

  12. Varane went there just for the money. He didn't even have to comment about what happened behind the scenes with ten hag since he's won everything there is to win. Varane Is a class act and had to say this because of the state manchester united is in and to warn other teams about ten hag. You need a manager that supports your players not constantly whipping them.
