Manchester United defender Varane may miss six weeks
Posted : 30 August 2023
Raphael Varane, the Manchester United defender, is set to be sidelined for a few weeks due to an injury he sustained during the match against Nottingham Forest. The 30-year-old was substituted off at half-time in the team's 3-2 victory at Old Trafford.
Sources within the club have downplayed speculations that Varane might be out of action for up to six weeks. They also highlight that the upcoming international break will help minimize the number of matches he will miss.
Varane's absence draws attention to the situation surrounding Harry Maguire. There has been ongoing speculation about the England international's potential transfer, even though he rejected an offer from West Ham earlier this month. With Varane sidelined, the focus on Maguire's future intensifies.
The injury also impacts Manchester United's defensive options. Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, and Maguire are the only senior central defenders available for Erik ten Hag's team. This situation likely makes it less probable for Maguire to depart before the transfer deadline.
Former Manchester United defender Jonny Evans, who is currently on a temporary contract, is expected to turn his status into a permanent one in light of these developments.
