Rangnick claims Varane reached breakthrough after 'best game' for Man Utd

Ralf Rangnick believes Raphael Varane has achieved a breakthrough at Manchester United.

The Frenchman, signed from Real Madrid last summer, had his best game for United in the loss to Middlesbrough last Friday, according to Rangnick.

"I think he has arrived in the meantime," Rangnick said ahead of Tuesday's trip to Burnley. "He seems to be physically fit, he has no issues anymore with injuries.

"I thought that until he had to be substituted against Middlesbrough he did extremely well with Harry [Maguire], he played probably his best game.

"Knowing it was a Championship team but a very ambitious Championship team.

"I'm very happy to have him back again for tomorrow's game. Hopefully, we can have him in the same fitness, shape and in the same form that he played against Middlesbrough for the upcoming games."
