VERY SAD NEWS as Raphael Varane faces Erik Ten Hag probe over winter break photo as Man Utd defender may have breached major club rule
The 30-year-old French World Cup winner shared a picture of his free time on Instagram on Thursday. This is a perk that all United players have been getting this week.
In the picture, Varane was having fun in his free time at an unknown snowy location, which was probably a ski lodge. Manchester United players usually don’t do winter activities like skiing because they can get hurt.
Even though the club doesn’t allow skiing during the season, Varane shared the picture of himself standing on snowy slopes with skiers in the background. The move makes people wonder, and when Ten Hag gets back to Old Trafford, he will probably ask for more information about whether the player was skiing during this time.
Most European clubs, including Manchester United, don’t like winter sports like skiing because their star players could get hurt from them. People are worried because of things that have happened in the past, like when Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer broke his leg during the winter break in the Bundesliga in 2022, after Germany had a tough World Cup in Qatar.
Varane’s agent said that the back did not go skiing at the resort, but the controversy over the Instagram post may make it harder for him to stay at Old Trafford.
Varane, a four-time Champions League winner who moved from Real Madrid to Manchester United in July 2021, has been linked to teams in the Saudi Pro League and German champions Bayern Munich as someone who wants to leave Manchester United.
Varane’s future at Manchester United is still unclear because he only has this season left on his £340,000-a-week deal. Even though the club has the choice to extend his contract for another year, there is still talk that he might be leaving.
Varane has played 18 times for Manchester United this season in all competitions, but he has had trouble getting a steady spot in the starting lineup. At one point, he was behind Harry Maguire.
The defender has recently played in five of Manchester United’s last six games, missing only one because he was sick. The controversy surrounding his winter adventure and the fact that his future at Old Trafford is still unknown add to the excitement of his already eventful season with the club.
