Varane excels when defending in his box

Another player who will leave on a high is Raphael Varane, whose contract ends in June and he had announced his departure before the final home Game of the season.

The Frenchman was immense at the back with his defending inside the box almost impeccable. He is a much stronger centre-back when defending deep than in a high line and it showed.

The 2018 World Cup winner made four headed clearances, which was the most among his teaMMAtes, and seven in total, another team-leading metric.

Brilliant send-off for Varane

His partnership with Lisandro Martinez worked a treat and Ten Hag will rue the fact that he hardly got the chance to play them together this season due to injuries.
