Raphael Varane opens up on the Piers Morgan interview and said that the whole team is affected by it.
While every United supporter was celebrating Garnacho’s Fergie time winner against Fulham, Ronaldo decided to drop a bombshell in form of an interview.
Cristiano surely made very controversial statements from being betrayed by the club to him not respecting Ten Hag.
His teammate Raphael Varane is in Qatar for the world cup. Although, unlike Victor, he decided to speak on this.
The former World Cup winner was asked by Europe1 about Ronaldo’s explosive interview and its aftereffects.
The defenders said:
“Obviously it affects us. We follow what is happening and what is being said.
“We try to calm the situation in our own way, we try not to get too involved in it. What is happening in the media in the big clubs is gaining momentum.
“When it’s a star like Cristiano Ronaldo, even more, so we try to take it with distance, that is to say that we do not try to change the situation alone, we are part of a collective.
“What I want is the best for my team so whatever the decision, as a player, we will accept it and give the best of ourselves.”
However, the defensive partner of Varane in Manchester United decided to avoid this topic.
When asked about Cristiano’s interview, Lindelof said to Fotbollskanalen:
“I won’t answer that question.”
Further, when asked if United told him to be quiet on this, he said:
“That’s my decision.”
