During Manchester United’s 3-2 triumph over Nottingham Forest, Raphael Varane was substituted at half-time due to certain discomfort.

“We have Harry (Maguire) and Victor (Lindelof) who can replace him so we didn’t take the risk. I don’t know if it is bad. We have to wait.”

Given Raphael Varane’s injury history since joining Manchester United, fans might understandably have concerns regarding his well-being in light of this recent development.

While Varane appeared to be in good condition during the first half, it seems that he might have encountered a minor issue that necessitated his substitution.

In the midst of losing players like Mason Mount and Luke Shaw to injuries in the past week, Erik ten Hag, the manager, will undoubtedly be hoping that Varane’s situation doesn’t turn out to be a serious injury setback.

The team’s injury situation has already posed challenges, and the hope will be to avoid any further complications in their lineup due to injuries.

Nunez’s crucial moment came in the form of a penalty kick in the second half. Just before Nunez stepped up to take the penalty, Virgil van Dijk briefly held the ball and appeared as though he might take the spot-kick himself. This momentary delay allowed Nunez to maintain his composure and focus on the task at hand.

Van Dijk also emphasized the significance of the mental aspect of these high-pressure moments in matches, highlighting the importance of maintaining one’s composure and mental fortitude when facing critical situations.

He said: “You have to make sure you protect at least the penalty spot. It’s a bit of a mind game there – maybe they were going to try and get in your head.

“It was always the plan that Darwin was going to take it, and I’m glad he scored.”

Van Dijk additionally added that Nunez is beginning to show the world what’s really going on with him:

“Darwin was very important for us against LASK and long may it continue. Up front, the competition is quite good.”

“They all have to push each other and it’s good to see. Everyone has a role to play whether you start or not. Everyone has now seen the potential and the quality he has.”
