Varane talks up Ronaldo benefit at Man Utd & hopes to recreate Ramos partnership with Maguire

The World Cup-winning defender believes working with the iconic Portuguese on a daily basis will raise collective standards at Old Trafford

Raphael Varane believes working with Cristiano Ronaldo on a daily basis helps to make you a better player, with Manchester United set to benefit from the Portuguese's presence after taking him back to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils pulled off a stunning coup during the summer transfer window when returning the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to English football 12 years on from seeing him depart for Real Madrid.

Despite now being 36 years of age, Ronaldo has hit the ground running with three goals through his opening two games for United, and Varane believes the all-time great will help to raise collective standards in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.
