Manchester United defender, Raphael Varane has come out to criticize the FA publicly ahead of the upcoming season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, despite the meeting players had with the FA recently, it is shocking to see them demand longer games, more intensity, and less emotions from the footballers soon after.

Varane added that even if he feels very privileged to be a professional footballer, the welfare of players should always be priority.
His words, “We had a meeting last week with the FA. They recommended from the referees new decisions and rules. From the managers and players, we have shared our concerns for many years now that there are too many games, the schedule is overcrowded, and itβs at a dangerous level for players physical and mental well-being.”
“Despite our previous feedbacks, they have now recommended for next season: longer games, more intensity, and less emotions to be shown by players. We just want to be in good condition on the pitch to give 100% to our club and fans. Why are our opinions not being heard?”
“As a player I feel very privileged to do the job I love every day but I feel these changes are damaging our game. We want to be at our maximum level, the best we can be and put on amazing performances for fans to celebrate every week.”
“I believe it is important that we, players and managers, highlight these important issues as we want to protect the game we love and give the fans our best.”
