Double blow for Man Utd! Red Devils lose Raphael Varane AND Victor Lindelof to injury against Brentford

Varane went off with an apparent ankle injury early in the second half before Lindelof was replaced by Lisandro Martinez with another issue. The news comes as a big concern as United are already without Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Anthony Martial in what has been an injury-plagued campaign. However, Varane told journalist Steven Railston that his injury is "not too bad".

It was a frustrating day for United, who, besides losing two players, dropped two points at Brentford. The Red Devils looked guaranteed to win the game when Mason Mount scored in stoppage time of the second half, but Kristoffer Ajer popped up with an even later goal to seal a 1-1 draw.

United sit sixth in the Premier League table and eight points behind fifth-placed Tottenham. The weekend's slip-up puts a dent in their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League. However, Erik ten Hag remains hopeful of his team's chances, saying to Match of the Day: "There are many games to play. Let's take this point. In the end it could be a very good point."

The Red Devils will hope to get back to winning ways when they take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. The Blues are currently 11th in the league, eight points behind their midweek opponents.
