Raphael Varane has hailed manager Erik ten Hag for "not being scared" of making big decisions such as stripping Harry Maguire of the Manchester United captaincy.
Ten Hag made the call to remove Maguire as captain to place Bruno Fernandes in the role, with the England centre-back now considering his future at Old Trafford.
Speaking to ESPN, Varane said of Ten Hag,: He wants a team with character and he's the leader so he has to show it himself.
"He's not scared to take these decisions and take that responsibility. That is what we expect from the manager. He did it so I think, with things like this, you show by example.
"He knows exactly what he wants. He's shown that determination and from the first day we've known exactly what we've had to do and where he wants to go.
"It's all clear for the players and for the team and we have a good connection with the manager."
