He's nothing like Rafael.

Okay, maybe from a football aspect he is, but I just feel no desire to ruffle his hair and give him a big hug

I loved those adorable little blighters. feck you Dave. feck you Louis.
:lol:

Even with the obvious bias from your username, that still made me laugh. Those 2 had that little scamp-ish quality about them.

He had some good defensive moments but needs better quality going forward. Some very good headed clearances

I hope he stays and he should start the next game. Could be a great player for us. Exciting to see him.

Just fear he's too small for when defending is the focus. Stick a striker on him and ping it to the back post from the right, would have a field day.

That said, that was better than any other RB performance I can recall in the past 3 months. Maybe that says more about our team than Varela though.

Had a good game. Got forward really well and seemed really confident in possession. Guess he'll get a run of games now that Darmian, Young and Valencia are out. Needs to make it count like he did yesterday.

Guillermo Varela says Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal is tricky to deal with

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has a "difficult personality" and players struggle to deal with him at times, admits defender Guillermo Varela.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan right-back, David Moyes' first signing after he succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford in 2013, was discussing suggestions that his manager had problems working with South Americans.

Varela, who has only featured twice in the Premier League this season, rejected the notion there were issues with Van Gaal because of his nationality, but did admit to some personal problems between the Dutchman and the squad.

Varela told Uruguayan newspaper La Ovacion:"There are rumours that he always has some kind of problem with South Americans. But to tell you the truth, I haven't had any for the moment.

"The things I've had to talk to him about have been clear and stayed at that. He has a bit of a difficult personality to deal with and sometimes it isn't easy for the players.

"That has been tough, because there are players who were accustomed to Ferguson. The truth is, we felt his departure a lot. There was a before and an after."

Ferguson stepped down as United boss in May 2013, bringing an end to his glittering 26-year reign at Old Trafford.

Former United striker Diego Forlan said last summer: "Louis van Gaal has never been a fan of South American players, as my good friend Juan Roman Riquelme will tell you from his time under the Dutchman at Barcelona."

Argentine Angel Di Maria, Colombian Radamel Falcao and Brazilian Rafael Da Silva all left United in the summer of 2015.
Say goodbye to any future appearances, Guillermo. :nervous::lol:

He's a bit of an idiot, this was his big chance to make a good impression and he calls his manager difficult (even though it's true but probably a nicer way than saying stubborn cnut).

Its an Uruguayan newspaper, probably lost in translation.

Going forward he has that pass and move aspect to his game reminiscent of Evra. Little pass inside and a positive run forward expecting the return ball. Seems to have a good tenacity about him

His rating for the game is higher than I expected, thought he was a bit too rash at times, needs to calm down a bit.

He's good enough to be a member of our squad going foward. Would be wrong to sell him IMO.

I like Varela, whether he will improve enough to ever be a first team regular I'm not sure about. He's certainly got a lot of promise.

He's fine as a squad member. He's done no worse than sadly Darmian has done in the majority of his appearances.

Manchester United defender Guillermo Varela was not allowed to leave the club in January because he was told by Louis van Gaal he was going to play.

The 22-year-old full-back, who has made five starts this season, has revealed that the Dutch boss blocked his exit from the club because he wanted to play Varela in the first team.

Varela was heavily linked with a loan move to Italian side Genoa last month.

And the Uruguayan, who arrived from Penarol in 2013, says he was considering a move in order to play regularly.

“Because I saw I wouldn’t play, I would have few chances,” he told Uruguayan radio station Sport 890. “I spoke to the manager and he told me that no, I couldn’t go, because I was going to play”.

“Everything happened so quickly that you don’t believe that you’re playing in the most important league in the world. I take it calmly, training and looking forward.”


Varela has made one start since the end of the transfer window – the 3-0 win over Shrewsbury in the FA Cup.

Let's hope VG actually rates him and hasn't told him to stay purely for filling out the squad.

Hope he gets more chances, he's shown enough promise to potentially be a good player.

His loan to the Real Madrid Castilla last season seems to have been beneficial for him. I think he looks a decent enough player so far.

Aside from Rashford's goals this lad has been my MOTM. He's been brilliant, everywhere on the pitch as well.

Has been brilliant. Deserves a run of games to see if he could become our first choice RB from a relatively quiet start e.g. Hector Bellerin at Arsenal.

Love the kid, genuinely looks like he can make it here.

It's obvious Memphis is MOTM but he's in second.

He was everywhere tonight! Reminds me of Alves at Barca in how he comes infield to try and get the ball. Obviously not saying he's as good as him.

As someone above said, he's Rafael MK II, hopefully stays away from injuries.

All of sudden, we seem to have incredible depth at the FB position. He and Riley were outstanding tonight.

Varela is brilliant, and on both of their seasons, Darmian hasn't done enough to dismiss the threat from him. From his debut against Wolfsburg, he has been largely excellent.

That said, with Valencia back soon, will be interesting to see where he is in the queue.

Between him and Darmian we have a couple of specialist right backs since God knows when. Even when we had Neville we did not have a proper back up.

I thought the same as well, great going forward, aggressive, and when we were losing kept trying to drive forward

Hopefully he will keep his place against Arsenal.
