Raphael Varane, a midfielder for MU, has just learned that he would likely miss six weeks of action due to an injury incurred during the team’s match against Nottingham Forrest. At halftime, the player had to leave the field, and Ten Hag introduced Lindelof.

Varane’s current ailment is unknown, but it is obvious that a six-week absence from play is not a minor setback. Erik Ten Hag could not be more disappointed by this news because Luke Shaw, another defensive stalwart, had to take a lengthy absence prior to it.

Look no further; for Arsenal’s visit this weekend, MU will be without 2/4 of the players that often kick in the defense. Varane would likely miss 1 to 2 matches in the Champions League and the next 5 matches for MU in the Premier League, according to a source for reporter Kaveh Solhekol (Sky Sports).

The French midfielder’s fascination is growing with injuries. Varane only played in 66 “Red Devils” games, which is fewer than the statistic says he should have played in 100. This implies that Varane must miss one game every two games on account of injury. For any professional player, that is a concerning number.

The fact that Varane has sustained too many injuries is another issue. The French midfielder used to experience pain in his ankles, knees, groin, hamstrings, and muscles, per Transfermarkt data. That is too much for a guy who is only 30 years old, especially considering how little Varane hits hard.

Ten Hag was also placed in a challenging circumstance as a result of Varane’s injury. Harry Maguire must be kept in order to maintain the number of troops. The player budget for MU has also run out as the transfer market is coming to a close. Ten Hag will be compelled to keep Maguire as a standby for Lindelof and Jonny Evans as a result.
