Raphael Varane is preparing for his first taste of a Manchester derby this weekend.
The Manchester United and France defender missed both meetings with City last term, one as he suffered a bout of covid-19 and the other due to a hamstring injury.
Now, he is fully fit and ready to take on the champions as Erik ten Hag's team look to continue their fine run of form. United head to the Etihad on a run of four consecutive league wins, although they have not played a league fixture in almost a month. Games against Crystal Palace and Leeds were postponed following the Queen's death before the international break extended their hiatus further.
