Raphael Varane is a big player with an ego to match, and has clearly fallen out with Erik ten Hag, Mail Sport's Chris Wheeler tells It's All Kicking Off... with the row undermining the Man United manager

Erik ten Hag and Raphael Varane have 'obviously' fallen out, and the result could prove critical for Manchester United, Mail Sport's expert Chris Wheeler shared on It's All Kicking Off.

The former Real Madrid man moved to Manchester for a bumper £41million plus add-ons in the summer of 2021, and in subsequent seasons became an important presence for the club's defence - and particular stalwart of Ten Hag's after his appointment in 2022.

But increasingly out-of-favour at Old Trafford, relations are thought to be irretrievably broken between the two men, with the defender making just seven starting appearances across all competitions.
