Varane working on defensive connections

The 28-year-old has impressed at centre-back since his summer move from Real Madrid, playing alongside captain Maguire in Premier League victories over Wolves and Newcastle.

Rapha is a big fan of Harry’s but it’s clear that the whole backline, including the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof, will benefit from his arrival, as he identifies how they can become a strong and cohesive unit.

“Yeah I think he [Harry] is a great player,” Varane told Premier League Productions.

“I think we have to work hard to feel comfortable on the pitch. Every defender in this team, we have to feel connected on the pitch and we will be better together.
