Manchester United’s Raphael Varane is facing a potential six-week absence due to injury. The center back was substituted at halftime during United’s match against Nottingham Forest.
This injury adds to United’s growing list, with Mason Mount and Luke Shaw also sidelined for a similar duration. The Red Devils are grappling with significant injury concerns, especially with important matches on the horizon.
With only three days remaining in the summer transfer window, manager Erik Ten Hag is running out of options to address these issues. United is already searching for a left back to replace the injured Shaw.
Raphael Varane To Miss Up To Six Weeks With Injury
Sky Sports has reported the potential six-week timeline for Varane’s recovery. Victor Lindelof is expected to step in as Varane’s replacement within the squad.
Despite the injury setback, Harry Maguire is likely to remain at Old Trafford and will likely see increased playing time due to the demanding fixture schedule. Varane’s absence will be keenly felt by United, particularly in upcoming matches against Arsenal and in the opening games of the Champions League.
