Varane is out for a month

Bitter news for Manchester United: New signing Raphael Varane will be absent for the Red Devils for some time. The club announced on Wednesday.

The central defender sustained a muscle injury in his thigh in the 2-2 draw in the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo and will be out for around four weeks, the statement said.

Varane, who moved from Real Madrid to Manchester for € 40million in the summer, had to leave the field in the first half.

As a result, Varane missed several important United games. Next Saturday there will already be a derby against Manchester City, and the Frenchman should also not be there against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Bitter: Varane made his comeback after a groin injury in the 3-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
