Manchester United aim to let two forwards leave as Raphael Varane explains plan without Casemiro

Here are your Manchester United evening headlines on Monday, March 13.

United aim to let two forwards leave

Manchester United are planning to let winger Facundo Pellistri head out on loan next season.- Pellistri, 21, has made six substitute appearances since the New Year and he has had a notable impact in almost all of them.

United are reluctant to sell Pellistri less than three years into his Old Trafford career and any loan move would likely determine whether he has a long-term future at the club.

Pellistri joined United for £9million from Penarol in October 2020 and had to wait more than two years to make his debut against Charlton in this season's League Cup quarter-final.

Varane explains plan without Casemiro

Raphael Varane admits Casemiro will be a huge miss for Manchester United while he serves a four-match suspension, but is confident his team has the quality to cope with his absence. The Brazil midfielder faces a four-match suspension after being sent off in the first half of United's goalless draw with Southampton at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Casemiro was dismissed after 34 minutes following a VAR check, having initially only been cautioned by referee Anthony Taylor for a heavy challenge on Carlos Alcaraz. VAR ordered Taylor to review the decision and go across to the pitchside monitor. Upon review, the experienced referee made the decision to show Casemiro his second red card in just his last three Premier League appearances.
