David de Gea was berated by United fans for a clumsy save that nearly resulted in a goal for Sevilla until Raphael Varane's save earned the defender praise.
David de Gea was called a clown by fans for his clumsy save
Raphael Varane has been branded 'unrealistic' by United fans for his clearance, who have called David de Gea a 'clown' for nearly conceding a goal.
De Gea was unable to stop Sevilla's finish at half-time, and Varane was present to pick up the ball as he ran to save the ball from United's net with a last-minute header. And the defender's brave efforts have been applauded on social media, while De Gea has been criticized for causing near turmoil.
One fan raged on Twitter:
"De gea is an absolute clown friend. He does nothing in the ring after Hollywood, except that he commits fouls." And a second backer was launched:
"He was lying on the ground watching his teammates play. The shocked reaction was fortunately saved by Varane. Right on top of him, why is he lying like he's been shot."
Third party says:
"Varane saved De Gea there. That would be considered the keeper's fault. Why would he hurl the keeper directly at him? He almost hit the ball in the back of the net." Then a fourth fan asked:
"He fell to the ground after kicking a ball and didn't even try to grab it. Who kicks the ball in the air when their six-foot box is so crowded?
But Raphael Varane came to De Gea's rescue and fans praised the defender for his heroic act
Some fans wanted to focus on Varane, who gave United a 2-0 lead, and one added:
"What a clearance from Varane's line." Another user followed this up with:
"That's crazy permission from Varane omg."
However, Varane could not be more outstanding in the game after picking up an injury after the first half. He fell to a pile late in the first half but was able to continue playing until the final whistle, although he was substituted for Harry Maguire in the second half in what appeared to be a measure a precaution by United coach Erik. Ten Hags.
