They wanted to sell him, Varane's lesson to Ten Hag during Liverpool vs Manchester United

Manchester United took an important point from Anfield after drawing 0-0 in the match and surprisingly, one of the most important players in the match was Onana, as well as the French defender Raphael Varane. The team managed to retain Salah, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and company. This performance was a clear message to Erik Ten Hag, who had left him on the bench lately.

Liverpool had the reins of the match against an excessively cautious Manchester United. But the visiting plan worked, Ten Hag's team stopped their bleeding and left Klopp's team chewing on anger, and without the leadership of the tournament. There were no goals in the English Classic. The new edition of the North West Derby faced a Liverpool team looking to regain the top spot, after Arsenal's victory against Manchester United, just after being left out of the European arena.

But Ten Hag's plan worked, Liverpool did not find space and had a hard time generating risk against the goal of Onana who started on slippery ground, but finished firmly to get a header off Van Dijk, the best situation of the first half. Already in the second half, Liverpool stepped on the accelerator and found danger with two shots by Salah, both deactivated by Onana, as well as a great performance by Varane leading the defense.

Varane's lesson to Ten Hag

After being questioned about your current level, being sidelined due to injury, being relegated to the bench, being in the middle of exit rumors and conflicts with your coach, the French defender appeared and gave a masterful performance in defense against Liverpool. This is a clear message to Ten Hag, who questioned his current level, preferring options like Evans or Maguire over the Frenchman.
