Ralf Rangnick handed major boost ahead of Manchester United's game at Norwich with Raphael Varane set to return to full-contact training... and he could make the bench this weekend after recovering from groin injury

Manchester United and their new boss Ralf Rangnick have been handed a major fitness boost with the news that Raphael Varane will return to full training on Friday.

Varane has been involved in non-contact training with his team-mates this week, but it has now been reported that the France international is ready to re-join full-contact sessions on Friday, ahead of the trip to Norwich on Saturday.

The Sun report that the 28-year-old has been given the green light, and he could even make the bench for Rangnick's first away game in charge of the team.
