Man Utd injury latest as Raphael Varane adds to club's woes ahead of Leicester clash

    [ad_1]

    Manchester United have suffered a major turnaround in form since Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning debut against Newcastle, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have lost two out of their last six. It could get worse though, as their injury list stockpiles.

    Manchester United have suffered a major dip in form recently, and the pressure has mounted on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as fans start to get restless.

    United have lost three of their last six games in all competitions, and have failed to win at home for a whole month since their last success on September 11 against Newcastle.

    After suffering defeat to Aston Villa in the league, before settling for a draw at home to Everton, Solskjaer faces a crucial test against Leicester City, as the manager needs a win to turn things around.

    However, Raphael Varane became the latest player to suffer injury, and United may be without further key stars, as Solskjaer is challenged with an even difficult task as he attempts to end a rocky period.

    Express Sport looks at Man Utd’s injury latest as three players risk being side-lined for the clash:

    Raphael Varane

    Varane was substituted during the Nations League Final, as France came from behind to beat Spain 2-1 and win the competition.

    The French defender looked to be in some discomfort, as he was withdrawn shortly before half time, and United fans are fearing the worst with the extent of the injury unknown.

    Varane was signed for £34million this summer as he arrived from Real Madrid, and has formed a solid partnership with club captain Harry Maguire in the centre of defence.

    However, Solskjaer may be without his new signing for the clash against Leicester, and potentially longer as the diagnostic is unknown.

    Harry Maguire

    To make matters worse, United may be without both of their first choice centre backs, as Harry Maguire is still not expected to be fit, with no update on an expected return date..

    Maguire picked up a calf issue during United’s defeat to Aston Villa and had to sit out of both games against Villarreal and Everton as a result.

    The United captain was also not been selected in Gareth Southgate’s squad for England’s internationals with Andorra and Hungary, with Solskjaer unaware of when Maguire will be back.

    Solskjaer said ahead of United’s last Premier League clash: “I don’t know how long it will take for Harry and his injury.”

    Amad Diallo

    United’s talented 19-year-old is likely to be sidelined with a thigh injury for at least another month.

    It has been a frustrating start to the season for the youngster who failed to find a loan move before transfer deadline day.

    As a result, he could find regular minutes extremely hard to come by this campaign, even after he returns to match fitness.

    United should have the resources out wide to cope with the absence of Diallo, with a whole host of attacking talent at Solskjaer’s disposal.
