French center back Raphael Varane got injured at halftime against Spain in the finals of the UEFA Nations League and pulled his groin, and was substituted in a win over Spain 2-1. Due to this, he will have to sit out for a couple of weeks. Manchester is already without their captain Harry Maguire, who missed the last two games due to a calf injury and doesn’t seem like that he will join the team soon even after light practices during the international break. Even their right-back Wan-Bissaka who is healthy but will miss his next UCL game against Atlanta as he was shown a red card in their first match against Young Boys.

Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano also reported about this via his tweet after the official statement from the Premier League club Manchester United.
