Varane was sent off in the Chelsea game, replaced by Jonny Evans at Stamford Bridge.
Evans has also struggled physically in recent weeks and had to be substituted shortly after coming on as the Northern Ireland foreigner missed Sunday’s clash with Liverpool alongside Varane.
None of the players have been photographed with Man United this week as the team prepares for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth.
The Red Devils have now published a report on the duo’s fitness, with Varane out “for a few weeks”, while Evans has a “short-lived muscle problem” but will also be out this weekend.
“Manchester United defender Raphael Varane will be out for the next few weeks due to a muscle injury sustained in our match against Chelsea last week,” read a statement on the club’s official website.
“The World Cup winner in France hopes to return to action before the end of the season in May. His compatriot Jonny Evans will also miss Saturday’s game against Bournemouth due to a short-lived muscle problem.
Man United will also be without fellow centre-backs Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez until early May due to hamstring and calf problems, respectively.
As a result, 19-year-old Willy Kambwala will once line up in midfield alongside Harry Maguire for Saturday’s clash against Bournemouth, as was the case against Liverpool last time out.
Varane’s contract expires at the end of June and a recent report claims that the Red Devils are letting him leave on a flexible transfer.
Manchester United said the former France player needs to return before the end of the season but will miss several games over the “next few weeks”.
The team’s Premier League campaign ends against Brighton
With Varane set to leave at the end of June, it’s not too unlikely to believe that he will have played his last game for Man United, especially if Martinez and Lindelof return at the beginning of May, and Maguire puts in solid performances from now on. then. .
A new centre-back will be a priority for Man United this summer, and the club are looking for a long-term spouse for Martinez, who is hoping to end his injuries in 2024-25.
