Raphael Varane is expected to play against Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend, giving Manchester United some injury relief.

However, top scorer Marcus Rashford is a serious question mark, according to manager Erik ten Hag, who made the announcement on Friday.

With four games remaining, Varane’s comeback is timely as United attempt to secure a top-four berth.

He hasn’t played since being substituted in their Europa League draw with Sevilla.

Rashford, who has 29 goals this season across all competitions, might not be available for the match on Saturday at Old Trafford.

“Rapha Varane is back and Rashford is doubtful,” Ten Hag told reporters.

“He has a problem, so (it is an) injury on his leg.

“He’s a big question mark for tomorrow but happy Rapha Varane is back.

“We have players who can score goals and they have the opportunity now to show it.

“Varane is experienced, knows how to win and will lead how to win, will guide us.

“Alejandro Garnacho has one more week training, definitely, so he is available.

“We have seen he can bring something extra in the team.”

With 63 points from 34 games, Ten Hag’s team is two points behind Newcastle United in third place as the battle for the top four intensifies.

A resurgent Liverpool, who have won six straight games, are in fifth, one point behind United despite having played one extra game.

Despite suffering back-to-back losses, Ten Hag expressed confidence in his team’s ability to win, noting that they were not displaying any symptoms of nervousness.

“We know that (Liverpool’s run) but it’s not important because we have everything in our hands.

As long as we have everything in our hands then we are not dependent on them,” the Dutch manager said.

“What is important is the opponent we face tomorrow: Wolves. We have to take them seriously.

“They have done a great job… but they also have deficits, (we must) take advantage of that.

“We are convinced with what we are doing, we have a lot of success, we have won a lot of games.”
