Varane, who arrived as a new signing in the summer along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho, believes there is a lot more to come from Manchester United, but they do not have the belief to show it just yet.

‘What I’ve been able to see is, with my team-mates, there’s a lot of quality in our squad, in our team,’ he said. ‘We’ve got huge potential, I’m convinced of it.
‘We’re working really hard, we’re working well in training. I think we’re improving all the time. Since the start of the season I think we’re on a positive, upward curve.
‘I think that there’s talent, there’s experience there as well. We’ve got everything you need to have that belief that you can do well.
‘I think that’s a really key issue – we’ve got to believe in ourselves, be convinced that we can do it, we have got to be ambitious, believe in our own potential and then I think you can achieve things when you do that.
‘There’s everything there in the right place. Just concentrate on the little details but keep believing and have that positive mentality.
‘I believe that each time we go into a game, we go on that track and keep on that road of positivity, think on how we can improve in little details and then I think we’ll be there. As I say, we’re on the right road.’

Varane will have a new centre-back partner on Wednesday and possibly for ‘a few weeks’ after Harry Maguire injured his calf against Aston Villa on Saturday.
