Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton is full of praise for teammate Raphael Varane.

The defender is United's lone goalscorer this season.

Heaton told the club website: "Of course, you don't play for Manchester United without being strong mentally, I think that pretty much goes throughout the squad.

"But I'm going to go with Rapha (Raphael Varane) with what he's done in the past at other clubs and his performances since he's walked through the door here.

"He has a really strong mentality with how he goes about it, how he performs in all the games he plays, whatever he's doing day-to-day.

"He's not massively outspoken but when he speaks, people usually listen."
