Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho left Old Trafford on crutches following his side's 0-0 draw with Southampton.
The 18-year-old has been a revelation for Erik ten Hag's side this season having been promoted from the club's academy.
But he could face a spell on the sideline after being taken off in injury-time despite entering the field in the 73rd minute against the Saints.
Garnacho was seen wearing a grey protective boot and using the aid of two crutches as he exited the stadium after his right ankle was caught by Kyle Walker-Peters’ challenge.
Nevertheless, Ten Hag has downplayed the youngster's injury, insisting the team needed more players in attack after seeing Garnacho limp.
‘He was limping a little bit after a bad tackle so in the end I thought I would bring on another striker as we were already downsized to 10 men. I don’t think it’s (the injury) is too bad,' the United boss said.
If Garnacho is to face a lengthy spell on the sideline, it would come as a blow to United, who have Europa League and FA Cup fixtures to come in the coming week.
Ten Hag's side were already without the likes of Donny van de Beek, Christian Eriksen, Marcel Sabitzer and Anthony Martial on Sunday.
Midfielder Casemiro is also set to miss the club's next four domestic matches after receiving his second red of the season against Southampton.
United will return to action on Thursday against Real Betis in the Europa League before making a trip to Fulham next weekend.

Referee costed those because he was on one side I don't know if he was given money somewhere
I feel like this bets companies do by referees coz if United had won the game, a lot of ppl would have won bet.. I don’t trust this ppl, even a clear handball was denied

Should have been a yellow card for the tackle on garnacho and maybe red. It was a 2 footed tackle and the sweeping motion of the back leg is what hurt him. Also the penalty in the box for the handball. It wasn’t a good game for Mr Taylor

let be realistic Refree Antony T is not not a refree at all , he has the right to give Casemiro a red card but he did not give walker Peter an warning card for sending Garnacho out with an ejury, Secondly he deny man united penalty when the handball was made in the penalty area? The same refree does the same when Man united was in action with Villas and arsenals , Why he always sided ?
You Man U fans don’t have the right to talk after scoring an offside goal against city

Risky tackle. Tricky card. Against Betis he will play along Fred. For all FA & PL it will be Sabitzer / Fred or Scot/Mainoo. Rashford, Shaw,Gea,Varane,Martinez,Antony all should be rested for Betis game. Time to give Pellistri,Mainoo,Elanga,Zidane to get chance in Europa.

Carnacho and Rashford must learn to to keep the ball away from the defenders when they are tackled , then they can have a strong case for them to be send off..

He is quick and probably he should learn to dribble away from defender s into empty space and not directly running at them. That is how Grealish do it and can hold the ball and move past many.
