R. Varane avoids serious injury © AP

Raphael Varane did not finish the Manchester City derby on Sunday due to injury and was replaced at the end of the first half.

However, on Monday, Manchester United received positive news about one of their main defensive pillars.

L'Equipe reports that the 29-year-old Frenchman avoided a serious injury and was limited to stretching.

It is not clear yet when R. Varane will return to the field, but it is speculated that the footballer will be able to do so very soon.
