Varane, Evans, Martinez - Manchester United injury news and return dates ahead of Liverpool

Manchester United's attention is moving towards the weekend after another dramatic match in the Premier League.

United were beaten 4-3 by Chelsea on Thursday night despite being minutes away from securing three points for the second consecutive game. The Reds were trailing 2-0 after early Chelsea goals from Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer, before responding with strikes from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes before half-time.

The second half saw United respond with another goal from Garnacho after he headed in from a sublime Antony cross. However, United would go on to lose the game with stoppage-time goals from Palmer for Chelsea.

Now attention will turn to the weekend when United will host Liverpool at Old Trafford. The Reds' bitter rivals claimed a 3-1 win over Sheffield United on Thursday night to return to the top of the Premier League table.
