Rafael Varane recently recovered from an injury, however Solskjaer did not have the patience to gradually return him to the competitive rhythm.
The Frenchman played a sluggish game against Tottenham and found himself in the starting lineup in the match with Atalanta, which was obviously not a good move. Varane left the duel in the 37th minute, and after the examination, it was determined that he will have to be absent from the field for at least a month.
Rafael Varane brought much-needed security to the last defensive line, however Solskjaer under the pressure of very poor performances had no understanding for the recently recovered footballer.
Accordingly, the Frenchman will surely miss the match with Manchester City, as well as three matches after the national team break. This means that United’s defense will be under great pressure again, because they will face Chelsea, Villarreal and Watford.
An additional problem is the fact that Victor Lindelof was also injured, so the stopper tandem in the match with City will be Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly.
The Premier League derby with City, the “red devils” will play on Saturday at 13.30 at “Old Trafford”.
