Coach Erik Ten Hag once explained why Raphael Varane was benched: "It was entirely due to tactical factors. Varane also understood this and he is very professional, always trying to meet all my very high requirements. At MU, all standards and demands are always at the highest level."

"This is contrary to reality, Varane is clearly extremely disappointed when coach Erik Ten Hag puts him in the 5th priority position after the center-back who is no longer in his prime, Jonny Evans (35 years old). Varane is a world champion with the French team, 4-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid. Leaving this veteran player on the sidelines is very unacceptable. Perhaps, there was a conflict of views between Varane and coach Erik Ten Hag", said journalist Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail .
Current rumors confirm that Varane will leave MU in the winter transfer window. German club Bayern Munich is ready to recruit this French midfielder for a fee of about 20 million euros to 30 million euros.
"When you have to decide between two great players - Varane and Harry Maguire - you have to make a choice. All the rest are just rumors. Varane wants to leave? I don't know what you're talking about, about rumors? Varane is a very important player for MU, but there has to be internal competition," coach Erik Ten Hag shared, in a press conference before MU's upcoming match against Everton at 11:30 p.m. on November 26 away in round 13 of the Premier League.
"In the winter transfer window in early 2024, we must make calculations to comply with the Financial Fair Play law. This is similar to the previous two transfer windows. MU will have additional players, but it must also be suitable for the actual situation," added coach Erik Ten Hag.

According to the Daily Mail : "MU is preparing for a huge change in force. Stars like Varane and Casemiro are both ready to leave. Coach Erik Ten Hag will have to have replacements, one of which is center-back Jean-Clair Todibo of Nice Club. But this deal is having a conflict of interest, because billionaire Jim Ratcliffe (about to buy 25% of MU's shares) is the owner of Nice Club (France)".
