Ralf Rangnick provides Raphael Varane fitness update

Ralf Rangnick provides Raphael Varane fitness update

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has said that Raphael Varane will be fit for Tuesday's Premier League clash with Burnley.

The France international was withdrawn in the 90th minute of Friday's FA Cup clash against Middlesbrough, with Phil Jones introduced for the extra-time period.

There were concerns that the World Cup winner had suffered another muscular issue, having struggled with injuries during his short time at the club.

However, Rangnick has insisted that the central defender will be available for selection against Sean Dyche's side at Turf Moor.

"He [Varane] seems to be physically fit. He has no issues anymore with injuries. Hopefully, we can have him in the same fitness shape and same form as he was against Middlesbrough for the upcoming games," Rangnick told reporters.

Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani will also be back in the Man United squad against Burnley, with the Red Devils bidding to make it three Premier League victories in a row.
