Pogba outlines Varane’s best quality ahead of potential United debut

Paul Pogba has outlined the main qualities he feels Raphael Varane will add to the Manchester United squad.

The defender joined the Red Devils nearly two weeks ago but was an unused substitute during last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Southampton, with Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof starting at centre-back.

But Varane could make his United debut this Sunday when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Ahead of the game, Pogba, who knows Varane well from their time on the international scene, was asked whether he’s helped the club’s latest signing settle in.

"I think he doesn’t need me to settle in,” United’s no.6 responded, as per the club’s official website.

“He just settles in by himself. He is someone very mature, a very good guy. I think you can see he is very good with everyone already. He is really good in the changing room, which is very important in football.

“He’s a top man, a top player and brings his experience, his quality and his personality, even outside the pitch, to help the team."

Asked how Varane can have a positive impact on his United team-mates, Pogba explained it’s his mental qualities which will help improve the side.

“[It’s] his experience, you know. For a young age, he’s seen it all. He has a lot of experience to give to the team,” said the 28-year-old.

“I think everyone can learn from him. He’s been with the best and played with the best. He saw all the top players and can give his advice, his personality and his experience to the team, like I said."
