Varane came off at halftime of United's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday. He is definitely out of United's trip to Arsenal on Sunday before the league takes a two-week break for international games.

Defender Luke Shaw and midfielder Mason Mount, an offseason signing from Chelsea, are also out with injuries sustained in the opening weeks of the season.

Varane's absence could impact United's decision whether to sell Harry Maguire, who has lost the captaincy since the end of last season and has been linked with a move to West Ham.

Maguire is the fourth-choice centre-back at United behind Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof.

United has won two of its first three games in the league. One of them was 1-0 over Wolverhampton Wanderers when Varane scored the goal. AP AYG
