The United centre-back has been out of action since suffering an injury during our 1-1 draw at Chelsea last month but looks to be progressing well ahead of kick-off in France’s World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Les Bleus face Australia in their Group D opener on Tuesday (19:00 GMT) and it is likely to be a race against time for the 29-year-old to be ready.
But, as a video posted on the tournament holders’ official Twitter account earlier today shows, Varane looks to be continuing to step up his recovery, working alongside recent Ballon d’Or winner and Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema, who has also spent a recent period on the sidelines.
