Some Manchester United supporters fear Alejandro Garnacho's season could be over after reports in Argentina claimed that his injury is worse than first feared.
The winger, who has been a breakthrough star for the Reds this season, was forced off in the closing stages of Sunday's goalless draw with Southampton after going down under a challenge from Saints right-back Kyle Walker-Peters.
He was spotted shortly after the full-time whistle leaving OId Trafford with a protective boot on and on crutches. At the time, of course, it was too soon for manager Erik ten Hag, speaking in his post-match press conference, to confirm the extent of the injury, though he confirmed he had taken him off as a precaution.

So in the end I thought they bring on another striker, a tall one, I don't want to go for a risk, we were already down to 10, to go to maybe 90 per cent, that's why I took him off but I think it's not too bad." Although United are yet to officially confirm the severity of the youngster's injury and what it specifically is, reports in Argentina have claimed that initial investigations have found that it is worse than first feared.
