Not a thread about him on here, so I decided to make one.
What did you think about his debut? Didn't think he was that bad to be honest.

I expected a bit more form him going forward as well but it was his first game, think he didnt want to make a mistake to be exposed much.. good debut for him though. Mata ahead of didnt gave him many posibilities to going forward.. let him start next game:-)Looked scared to go forward at times, but that was to be expected when you're thrown on at half time in such a finely balance game. Apart from one very careless pass, he did okay.
I agree. We might have seen more from him if he had Lingard ahead of him and Memphis on the other side. We seemed to abandon the right wing for a lot of the game. You could probably give McNair the benefit of the doubt because of that too, as he had little support out wide, but he still made a go of it.I expected a bit more form him going forward as well but it was his first game, think he didnt want to make a mistake to be exposed much.. good debut for him though.

Do you think he's one of the best in the world.100% brilliant to see a right back playing right back.
Agreed on his performance. No Young was a bit weird, nice to see though but weird still especially when you're keeping Fellaini on the pitch, you'd fancy Young's crosses to meet that man's head.Didn't do anything wrong, didn't really do anything, not sure why he came on instead of Young in truth.
paddy mc nair is unfortunately not made to be a good right back he lacks any dribbling ability, he miscontrols the ball quite easily in these quick one twos and his finall ball is really inconsistent, its a big step up for Varela from the academy but apart the final balls and specifically crossing, hes much better in everything than McNair.I agree.

You mean like Young.Zarate sold him so easily before shooting straight at De Gea. Don't want him starting games right now, we have enough problems not scoring goals, don't need fullbacks getting so easily skinned by average wingers.
He's 22 and is not an academy product.

Much more potential?Sorry but Different position though.He's got potential, he's a bit of a late bloomer like Lingard but has much more potential and is only slightly less polished. Could go on to be very good for us if he continues to get chances.
You can still compare potentials though. And yeah, if you'd have watched him for the reserves you'd know why I rate him highly.Much more potential?Sorry but Different position though.
And to accuse @khoazany of all people of not watching the ressies ?And if you watched the reserves you'd know why Lingard is rated highly. There is absolutely nothing to support such a claim that Varela has much more potential than Lingard.
You really can't compare potentials either as it is a completely made up unidentifiable attribute.
I actually think we need Young more on the wings than in the full back position. Best combo would be to play Mata in the hole, Young on the right to cover for Varela and Memphis/Darmian on the left.he has surely bigger potential than Darmian, lets see if hes given run of games to prove himself.. will be also interesting who starts on the right against Germans, but I think its gonna be Young, he was decent at both fullback positions its a lesser risk than Varela atm IMO, Van Gaal would show guts if he started him
Actually I tend to be a bit harsh for those who are not academy graduates though.Still Lingard has been too good for the reserves since long before Varela even arrived so I'm not sure how their reserves performances can be used to compare anything (they're about the same age).And to accuse @khoazany of all people of not watching the ressies ?
Rubbish.He had no idea what to do defensively. Not impressed. Better than McNair though. Can at least control a football
Rubbish 2.0He had no idea what to do defensively. Not impressed. Better than McNair though. Can at least control a football
I wonder how you came into that conclusion after his first 45 min ever at this level where he has been okayish.He did ok but like McNair he is a very ordinary player who is only involved because we are so short defensively
