But despite plenty expressing their sympathy for Varane, Stam felt that his emotions were unnecessary during a time when Manchester United played a crucial game against Chelsea. The legendary Dutch defender, who was a key member of the treble-winning Manchester United side in 1999, told : “He was very emotional. The game played on when he fell down and he just kept lying on the pitch basically and after, when he stood up, he was emotional. It looked like he had a problem with his hamstring or whatever but we don’t know yet." He added: "I don’t know what to say about this, he probably thinks he’s out of the World Cup but I can’t understand being so emotional on the pitch to be honest." He continued: “It’s not only from a centre half’s point of view, you try to imagine yourself in the situation and why is he so emotional and why he is acting like that. There are other things that are worse than this, is what I think.” Varane's teammates rushed over to console him after he was visibly upset while coming off injured Varane's teammates rushed over to console him after he was visibly upset while coming off injured
