Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag\u2019s side have got off to a poor start in Group A as they were beaten 4-3 by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena last month.<\/p>\n

United are also suffering in the Premier League as the 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday was their fourth so far this season.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag\u2019s men are looking to get back on track in the Champions League on Tuesday evening as they host Galatasaray at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

And Varane is confident that United have the squad that is capable of winning the competition.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think that competition it\u2019s about details, you have to be efficient to win that competition,\u2019 said Varane.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018I think what we can improve is to be more efficient in front of goal.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have a very low number of occasions where we concede goals, we have to create a lot to score, so that\u2019s the reality of the top level, you have to be efficient to win big trophies.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think we have the quality in the squad to win the competition, but we have to improve and tomorrow [against Galatasaray] it\u2019s a great opportunity to get the first points in the competition, to move forward and improve.\u2019<\/p>\n

When asked if he believes United are capable of winning the Champions League, Varane replied: \u2018Yes, I think so. The quality is in the squad, as I said, this competition is difficult, you have to take care of every detail.<\/p>\n

\u2018But we have a team with quality, with a good mentality, yes, we have to make some improvements it\u2019s not the start of the season we expected.<\/p>\n

\u2018But I still believe we have the quality to compete with the best teams in the world.\u2019<\/p>\n
