Another big talking point in Wednesday’s press conference was the injury that Ronaldo’s former Real Madrid team-mate Raphael Varane sustained at the weekend.
Unfortunately, Ten Hag confirmed the Frenchman will miss all of United’s matches until the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
“Rapha Varane isn’t in the squad,” said the manager. “He will be out, certainly until the World Cup so he will not play in this block for Man United.”
Asked if Varane could play in the World Cup, Erik continued: “I think so, but the prognosis we have to wait. We have to see how it develops, how the rehab will develop.”
