Ten Hag put pen to paper on a one-year contract extension after guiding United to victory over rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

However, he was sacked in October following a poor start to the 2024-25 season, with Ruben Amorim taking over the reins.

Varane, who has since retired after leaving United for Como in the close season, was part of the squad for Ten Hag's two full campaigns with the club.

Although, his relationship with the former Ajax boss was a complicated one - similarly with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho - as he found himself on the bench for long periods of last term.

"We had a robust discussion,jiliko 747" Varane told the Athletic. "We told each other some truths, but then I didn't play for almost two months. I said I didn't agree with certain ways of doing things regarding the relationship between him and the team.

The demolition began at 5 am and was conducted amid heavy police presence and was part of a drive to clear unauthorized constructions behind the temple and near the circuit house area. Officials reported that approximately 102 acres of land, valued at around Rs 320 crore, were cleared during the 12-hour operation.

"It wasn't something that I thought was good for the team because some of the players weren't at all satisfied. It was not good in terms of the relationship with the coach.

"He said: 'OK, I hear what you said' and, after that, I didn't play.

"I was surprised he stayed. The connection with the group no longer existed."
