Manchester United: Raphael Varane says Cristiano Ronaldo saga 'affects' the players

Raphael Varane, a defender for France, says the situation around his club is affecting all of the players.

In excerpts of a television interview, the player said that he feels betrayed by the club, that he doesn't respect the manager, and that he's being forced out.

After the full facts have been established, they will consider a response.

Varane told Europe 1 that it affects them.

We watch what is happening and what is being said.

We try to keep calm in our own way. There is a lot happening in the media.

We don't try to change the situation on our own, we're part of a collective.

During the victory over Spurs on 19 October, United made it absolutely clear that they backed Ten Hag to deal with the situation because they didn't wantRonaldo to be on the pitch.

The Portugal international was left out of the matchday squad for the next game, which was against the Blues.

"What I want is the best for my team, so whatever the decision, as players, we'll accept it and give the best of ourselves," said Varane.
