Varane has 85 caps for his country and is one of the side’s most important defensive figures having played every single minute of their triumphant World Cup campaign in Russia four years ago.

Fred’s mistake led the Stamford Bridge club to get a penalty and Chelsea midfielder Jorginho scored the goal in a well-versed manner. Manchester United will next face FC Sheriff while Graham Potter’s Chelsea will face RB Salzburg in their UEFA Champions League fixture.
