United&#8217;s 4-3 loss against Copenhagen in the Champions League\u00a0on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Evans, 35, was replaced by Raphael Varane 15 minutes into the game after pulling up with the injury nowhere near the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He is set to miss Northern Ireland&#8217;s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Finland and Denmark as a result &#8211; though Michael O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s side are already out of contention anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It also means he will miss United&#8217;s game against Luton on Saturday, their last match before the international break.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img

way into the starting 11 in recent games\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Evans had made eight appearances for United this season after rejoining the club for the first time since 2015 in the summer, signing a one-year contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>His stint in the first team came as a surprise, with Erik ten Hag opting for him in favour of Varane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It came as a particular shock when he was selected over the Frenchman for the ill-fated Manchester derby, which United lost 3-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet Evans has acquitted himself reasonably well since his return to Old Trafford and brings the experience of winning three Premier League titles and a Champions League crown from his first spell at the club.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag explained that Varane was left out for &#8216;tactical reasons&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Victor Lindelof is another option to take his place after an illness kept him out of the squad for the 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whether Evans will be back in time for United&#8217;s trip to Everton on November 26 or their crunch Champions League visit to Galatasaray on November 29 remains unclear.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport
