Ten Hag provides update on Man Utd star after major injury scare against Southampton

United dropped points in the Premier League for the second consecutive week after failing to score against the Premier League's bottom side.

But they did play a majority of the match with 10 men. Casemiro was shown a red card after a VAR review on 34 minutes following a high tackle on Southampton's Carlos Alvarez.

United then suffered another blow in injury time, with Garnacho forced off shortly after a heavy challenge from Kyle Walker-Peters.

He limped off the field, and was later spotted on crutches outside Old Trafford after the game.

Garnacho was himself a second half substitute, having replaced Jadon Sancho on 73 minutes.

But he ultimately had little time to influence the game - and United supporters were left fearful that the Argentinian, who was called up to the senior national team for the first time earlier this month, had suffered a serious injury.

Speaking to the official United website after the game, Ten Hag spoke of his belief that Garnacho's injury is not serious.

The image of Garnacho on crutches will surely place his participation in Thursday's Europa League last 16 clash against Real Betis in doubt.

United go into the second leg in Spain with a 4-1 advantage, with Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst all getting on the scoresheet in the first leg at Old Trafford on Thursday.
