Manchester United defender Raphael Varane to miss few weeks through injury

Raphael Varane has been sidelined for a few weeks following the injury he sustained when Manchester United faced Nottingham Forest.

The French player was forced off at half-time of Saturday’s 3-2 comeback win at Old Trafford.

It remains unclear the exact number of weeks Varane will be out for but the international break will limit that. However, reports from some quarters indicate he could miss up to six weeks.

The 30-year-old’s injury means Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, and Maguire are United’s only senior central defenders.

Also, there is a possibility that former United defender Jonny Evans turns his currently temporary contract into a permanent one.
