Confirmed! Varane will miss a few weeks, but Solskjaer is eyeing the return of two key players

Fortunately, what happened to Liverpool last season will not happen to Manchester United. Raphael Varane will miss a few weeks, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eyeing the return of Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford.

France did win the final game of the Nations League, but Varane only played 43 minutes before Dayot Upamecano came on for him due to injury.

At that moment, it immediately flashed through every Red Devils fan’s mind that we would have to do without both key stoppers, as Maguire has been out for some time.

Leicester, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City. These matches will be interspersed with the Champions League, specifically a double-header with Atalanta.

Moreover, the challenging series comes at a time when the Norwegian coach is under a lot of pressure, having won only one of the last 4 matches and generally being criticized for his performances.

However, many will remember that he has been in a similar situation once before. However, Solskjaer has faced it head on with his team and picked up one point after another.

He would need something similar this time as well, but the whole situation is complicated by injuries to players who are the mainstays of the team. Varane has played all but the opening games against Leeds United and Southampton!

It is still unclear whether we will see the pair Victor Lindelöf – Eric Bailly in the starting line-up on Saturday against Leicester, of which at least the Swedish stopper has already started 4 league games.

However, Maguire is already being counted on for at least the next few games, as well as Rashford, who is slowly getting into form. A few days ago, for example, he scored two goals in a friendly against Blackburn.

Solskjaer certainly has no problems with the attack, as he can choose from several very good players. It is the defence that could be a problem with two key players out. All the more so when you are facing England’s best teams.
