Yeah we shouldn't have to change our playing style because he's out injured,so could definitely do with someone who has same skills. Sadly that will never be Lindelof or Maguire.

Imo Casemiro would make a very good ball playing CB. Very strong, aggressive, excellent game reading, great positioning, good height great jump very good header, great tackle, good passing he has all the ingredients. However he's not very fast I think and we'd lose him in the midfield.
Yeah can't afford to lose him out of midfield that's for sure,think it's a shame we let Bailly go and Axel just cannot stay fit.
Imo it's a good decision to let Bailly go. He is very injury prone and even if not injured he is quite inconsistent. Axel is simply not good enough and imo Lindeloft is actually better than both. Not good enough to be our starter but enough to be a backup I think.
Very misleading. He came off injured in one league game and featured in the next one. Hardly a spell out.
Good for him.
Will probably be his last so I was gutted for him when he went off injured. I’m just conscious he will aggravate it, as so often happens at international tournaments/training. We NEED him for the new year.
Yeah hard not to feel worried
check his photo on the man utd website, they cannot even bother to get a decent image of him, says where he stands with the club i reckon
He’s only 29 so will probably make it to the next one as well.
Greatly underrated player, a real talent. Just wish he wasn’t so injury prone.
I think it's good he's going to WC, although it's possible he won't be a starter considering his injury. I'd rather he is part of the training squad.
Hopefully he'll be fit after WC so we only have Fulham game left without him.
He'll probably will do a Magure.....
As in join the team mid tournament, become one of their best players and then score a thunderbolt top corner penalty in the final.
Nothing suggesting France’s abundance of talented young CBs won’t have overtaken him by then.
I swear every time I see a post from you on the Caf something is worrying you!
We need all of our big players to stay fit
Our performances have gone to shit ever since he got injured
Our CBs can't push up effectively, so our pressing has gone to shit.
I also think he’s the organiser at the back too. I constantly remember him shouting at players around him when to push etc
The best defender on the planet is back. Starts today.
Hopefully if France win he can sit out the next (meaningless) group game. The big fear is that he's been rushed back too soon.
Happy he is back in time for WC
Problem is that Konate just like Varane can’t play back to back matches.
Is he injured again anyone?
FFS if so
FFS if so
Looked very rusty today.
I didn’t watch the match but as he came off the same time as 2 other players I’m hoping it was a case of resting him after 60 mins!
Oh that was him in those Boss ads? Kept thinking they’d found his twin
Made a crucial off the line clearance and importantly came through the first half unscathed, and long may it stay that way for ours and Frances benefits.

Like a cheat code this bloke.
Absolute rolls royce of a defender at peak fitness, it's just frustrating that you know the next lengthy injury is probably right around the corner.
Good to see he is on his way back.
Absolute quality.
First time in years that we actually have a dressing room chock full of real leaders throughout.
Having a good World Cup so far, he wasn't at fault at either of penalties last night and did okay. Great scenario after that injury at Chelsea where he probably thought he wouldn't make it to the tournament.
How good was Varane there? Superb.
He was immense
Our two best players in the world cup final
