Man Utd set for defender injury boost for Bayern game

Varane could face Bayern

Manchester United could receive an injury boost ahead of their Champions League opener against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

The Red Devils begin their European campaign against the German champions on the road and ahead of the game, they have received mixed news on the injury front.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka picked up a hamstring injury during his cameo against Brighton at the weekend and it has been confirmed that he could be on the sidelines for weeks.

On the positive note, Raphael Varane could make his much-awaited comeback from injury. The Brighton game came too soon for him, but he could be deemed fit for Bayern.

Varane has sustained short-term injuries throughout his successful career and he has failed to get over them at United. He has been on the sidelines for a number of weeks.

Ten Hag is expected to confirm his availability in tomorrow's press conference, but it is unclear whether the Frenchman will start from the off at the Allianz Arena.
