MANCHESTER UNITED star Raphael Varane has posted about \u201cego\u201d and \u201cmindset\u201d in a lengthy LinkedIn post.<\/strong><\/p>\n And it\u2019s sparked an invite to Jake Humphrey\u2019s High Performance Podcast.<\/p>\n Varane, 30, is in his third season at Old Trafford following a \u00a334million move from Real Madrid in 2021.<\/p>\n However, the Frenchman is way down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n He has made just nine Premier League appearances for United this term.<\/p>\n And with Varane\u2019s contract up next summer, he could soon be set to leave as a free agent.<\/p>\n In the meantime, the World Cup winner now appears to be taking a philosophical approach to the beautiful game.<\/p>\n On Tuesday he made a lengthy LinkedIn post delivering his thoughts on the journey a player must make to reach the top of football.<\/p>\n It read: \u201cThe journey to the top is something that requires a significant amount of strength. There are so many factors that go into becoming a professional player, and even more to have a successful career.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIn Europe, less than 1% of players who begin in academies as children will make it to professional level.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER<\/strong>S<\/p>\n \u201cThe numbers are even smaller when you narrow it down to the amount that play for their countries, and in the Champions League.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAccording to Fifa, there are an estimated 130,00 professional players worldwide with 211 Fifa registered nation teams. Based on this, approximately 5275 (4.06%) players play for their country.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWith 32 Champions League registered teams, approximately 800 (0.64%) play in the Champions League – both numbers based on a 25 player squad per team.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cAs someone who has played at both levels, I feel extremely lucky to have done so. I also know what is required to get here. A critical element of reaching the top level is making the right decisions for yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cMany of these decisions stem from ego, something that for me is one of the most important things to keep control of, and can give you a better mentality when used correctly.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIn football and in life, I have found that, as long as you have a strong mindset and continue to act on it, you can reach new heights. The accolades and recognition you get are a consequence of the decisions you make.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIf you focus on the process and enjoy the small improvements rather than only focusing on the result, you can always achieve great things.\u201d<\/p>\n Varane\u2019s post received a warm welcome from fellow LinkedIn users.<\/p>\n But one man who was particularly impress was ex-BT Sport host Humphrey.<\/p>\n And he issued an invite to Varane to join him on his podcast.<\/p>\n Humphrey wrote: \u201cWe need to talk on the High Performance Podcast bro x.\u201d<\/p>\n MAN UTD NEWS LIVE: Stay up to date with all of the latest transfer and takeover news from Old Trafford<\/strong><\/p>\n
