Manchester United have been dealt a major injury blow as Patrick Dorgu is set to be ruled out for months.
Man United have secured back-to-back wins under Michael Carrick following their big win over Arsenal last Sunday.
Carrick's team beat Mikel Arteta's side 3-2 at the Emirates, with Matheus Cunha scoring the game's winner three minutes from time.
Dorgu, who has starred higher up the field, had put the visitors ahead just five minutes after the break following his stunning long-range strike.

But he was forced off after sustaining an injury while chasing a long ball in the second-half.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, Carrick called it 'a little bit of cramp'.
Two days removed from Man United's famous win over Arsenal, a report from The Athletic claims Dorgu is set to miss around 10 weeks with a hamstring injury.
Carrick has played Dorgu from the start in both of his games in charge.
The Dane, 21, has been deployed as a left winger in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
He scored in Man United's 2-0 victory over Manchester City earlier this month and bagged a goal against Arsenal.
Dorgu joins Matthijs de Ligt on the sidelines, with the Dutch centre-back missing the last 11 games with a back issue sustained last month.
What games will Patrick Dorgu miss?
Dorgu is set to miss up to eight league fixtures following his hamstring injury, including big clashes against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
Not to mention trips to West Ham United and Everton.
Man United vs. Fulham - Feb 1
Man United vs. Tottenham - Feb 7

Everton vs. Man United - Feb 23
