Mason Greenwood has been ruled out for up to six weeks after sustaining a serious ankle injury in Manchester United's match against Aston Villa on Sunday.
The England Under-21 international, who scored twice in his debut Premier League start at Old Trafford, was stretchered off in the first half and underwent scans that confirmed the severity of his ankle problem.
Greenwood is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season and will undergo further tests before a return date can be established.
His absence comes as a major blow for United, who were already without injured centre-back Harry Maguire and left-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Manchester United have not had the best of luck with injuries this season, with several key players missing games due to various ailments.
In addition to Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes also missed the match against Aston Villa with a hamstring issue, while Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay also struggled with injuries throughout the game.
Despite their struggles, United remain top of the Premier League table and have a strong chance of retaining their title.
However, the loss of such key players could impact their chances of success in the upcoming matches.
