Manchester United Treble winner Jaap Stam was critical of Raphael Varane over his reaction to being injured during their draw at Chelsea.

Varane was emotional as he left the pitch and struggled to hold back the tears with his chances of playing in November's World Cup in doubt. However, Stam doesn't get why Varane was upset.

“He was very emotional," the Dutchman told Optus Sport. “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.

"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.

“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."
