Raphael Varane shared on social media some snapshots of Manchester United's victory over Liverpool. The French center-back added one in which he faced Luis Diaz.

Luis Díaz was one of the few Liverpool players who tried to do something different on the pitch at Old Trafford against Manchester United. In fact, every time the Colombian wanted to shake up the local defense, there was an immediate response. Precisely, one of those maneuvers has been immortalized in photos and videos that went viral on social media.

It's a one-on-one between 'Lucho' and Raphael Varane, the 'Red Devils' center-back. First, the South American appeared on the wing to skillfully overcome the marking of Diogo Dalot and Scott McTominay. After leaving them behind, the 'cafetero' faced the French defender, but received a tremendous impact.

As shown in the clips, Díaz stretched the ball to beat the Frenchman in speed. However, the former Real Madrid player stood in front as if he was a wall. The experience of the World Cup champion prevailed in that action in which the Colombian practically flew through the air until he fell on the pitch.

In this way, the Colombian felt the rigor of the English classic. Of course, there were many other scenes in which the forward from 'The Reds' couldn't handle the roughness and firmness of the local players, who played a 'final' due to the poor start of the season in the Premier League.

Varane's post with Luis Díaz

With the 2-1 score at 'Theater of Dreams', the Manchester United players celebrated the victory in various ways. So, the official accounts couldn't miss the posts. Thus, Varane published his and remembered the mentioned duel he had with 'Lucho' Díaz near the half-hour mark.

"Tonight we showed our passion and fought as we should. Old Trafford, you were incredible," said the Frenchman. In the pictures, he included a celebration of himself, another one with Bruno Fernandes, and the last one with the Colombian: the way he stopped the offensive advance for 'The Reds'.
