  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Varane signed a two-year contract until June 30th 2026 with the option for an additional season at the Northern Italian club. At this point, a consensual termination of the agreement has not been ruled out. His muscle injury is expected to rule him out for at least a month and a half, but he could face even longer on the sidelines with his recovery process.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The French defender missed 48 games for United during his three-year spell at the club due to a variety of injury problems. Now, he once again has to face up to the prospect of spending time on the treatment table.
