Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Marcus Rashford is likely to miss the Wolves game, with Raphael Varane due to return.

In his pre-match press conference ten Hag had some major updates on several players. This included the news that Rashford has a problem with his leg and therefore is more than doubtful for game.

“He has a problem, an injury on his leg, so he is a big question mark for tomorrow.” He continued, “As I say, doubtful, more than doubtful. A big question mark.”

This comes as a huge blow to United who face a tricky run in with Champions League qualification on the line. A positive comes however in the knowledge Alejandro Garnacho will be available to take the Englishman’s place on the left.

Varane set for his return

Despite the negative injury news, Ten Hag was jubilant to announce that Raphael Varane is due to return.

United will be pleased to see the Frenchman back in the defence. However will face a predicament in deciding who plays. This due to Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw being in such good form.

Ten Hag spoke excitedly of the defenders return from what was initially believed to be a season ending injury.

“We are happy Rapha Varane is back.”

Varane’s been out injured since the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla. When he pulled up in the first half with what many believed would be a season ender.

However his return comes at a crucial time for Ten Hag. His side have a cup final and four must win league games coming up.
