Manchester United: Raphael Varane declared fit but Marcus Rashford a major doubt for Wolves clash

Raphael Varane is declared FIT for Manchester United’s trip to Wolves after a month out with a leg injury in a major boost for Erik ten Hag… but Marcus Rashford is a doubt for the Molineux clash

  • Raphael Varane has not played since their Europa League tie with Sevilla 
  • Erik ten Hag’s side have only won two of the seven games in his absence 
  • Marcus Rashford though is a major doubt for their clash against Wolves 

Raphael Varane has been declared fit to return for Manchester United’s run-in, but Marcus Rashford is a major doubt for Saturday’s clash with Wolves at Old Trafford with a leg injury.

It’s the first of four Premier League games United have left to secure a top-four place as they lead Liverpool by one point with a game in hand.

Varane has not played for a month since he was injured in the first leg of United’s Europa League tie against Sevilla. 

Ten Hag’s side have only won two of the seven games during the Frenchman’s absence, losing three times.

Rashford would be a big miss after leading the scoring charts for United this season with 29 goals, even though his form has dipped of late.

Speaking at his weekly press conference, Ten Hag said: ‘Rapha Varane is back and Rashford is doubtful. 

‘He has a problem, an injury on his leg. He’s a big question mark for tomorrow but happy Varane is back. 

‘He has experience and know how to win and will lead how to win – he will guide us. But as I say, (Rashford is) doubtful, more than doubtful, a big question mark.’
