Manchester United receive huge injury boost ahead of FA Cup final

Manchester United defender Raphael Varane came off at half-time in the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla at Old Trafford and has missed all five games for the Red Devils since then.

With Varane sidelined, United collapsed in the second leg of that tie, losing 3-0 and missing out on the chance of a potential cup treble this season. 

Varane is not expected back immediately but speaking ahead of his team's clash against Brighton, Erik ten Hag hinted at the possibility of the Frenchman being available in two weeks or earlier.

“Rapha is closer than Scott McTominay in this moment,” the United boss explained. “But, still, for the coming two or three games, they are both not available.”

The Red Devils play Brighton on Thursday night at the Amex Stadium before Sunday's trip to London to take on relegation-threatened West Ham.
