Manchester United identify possible Raphael Varane return date as Wout Weghorst decision is made

Here are your Manchester United evening headlines on Friday, May 5.

Manchester United are hopeful Raphael Varane could return for their Premier League fixture against Wolves next week.

Varane has been sidelined for the last three weeks with an apparent ankle injury he sustained in the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla but United manager Erik ten Hag indicated Varane would return before the end of the season.

Sources say, all being well, Varane could be available for the visit of Wolves on May 13 - three weeks before United's FA Cup final against Manchester City.

United also travel to Bournemouth on May 20 before their league season ends with successive home games against Chelsea and Fulham.

Manchester United are not planning to sign Wout Weghorst on a permanent basis.

Weghorst, 30, has scored a meagre two goals in 26 games since arriving on loan from Burnley in the January transfer window.

United do not have an option or obligation to sign Weghorst, who is contracted to Burnley until 2025. Burnley have won the Championship to earn promotion back to the Premier League.

Weghorst joined United to offset the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and he has scored as many goals as he managed in 20 games for Burnley last term.
