Manchester United are sweating on the fitness of Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba, with both players picking up injury problems during the current international break.

Varane was forced off in France's victory over the Ivory Coast on Friday evening, with the 28-year-old picking up a problem with his foot during the friendly encounter.

Pogba, meanwhile, could not complete Sunday's training session with his country after picking up a foot injury, which has placed him as a major doubt for Tuesday's friendly with South Africa.

There has been no further update on the duo, but Man United will be concerned by the news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Varane and Pogba have already missed spells of this season with injuries that they have picked up on international duty.

Having been knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16, Man United only have Premier League football to focus on for the remainder of the season, taking on Leicester, Everton, Norwich City, Liverpool and Arsenal during a busy April.
