Varane made his 17th appearance of what has been something of a stop-start campaign for him so far, during the Emirates FA Cup exit to Middlesbrough on Friday.
The France international had two spells on the sidelines with injury during the autumn but he has now started all six of United’s games in 2022.
Raphael impressed alongside Harry Maguire at Old Trafford against Chris Wilder’s side, with the Reds dominating play but unable to take our chances at the other end, apart from Jadon Sancho's first-half opener.
Our no.19 had to depart the field prior to extra time and was replaced by Phil Jones, but Ralf revealed there were no long-term effects and that he would be available against the Clarets.
