βWhat he’s done and the mindset he’s changed, what he’s done for Marcus Rashford, the way the team looks now, getting different players to play really well. Varane before Ten Hag got there he had all the injuries from him, now it seems that he is fit most of the time. What he is doing and creating is worrying.β
