And it has now been confirmed he will be missing for a sustained period of time.

However, it is better news for fellow countryman Rasmus Hojlund – who also came off with a knock at the weekend.

Man Utd are hopeful he will return before the end of the month.

Their next fixture comes after the international break when they travel to Everton in the Premier League on November 26.

Erik ten Hag already has several injury concerns to deal with.

Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez are not expected back until the new year.

Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Johnny Evans and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were also unavailable on Saturday.

Man Utd have endured a tough start to the season, losing nine of their 18 games in all competitions.

But in the Premier League they have won four of their last five, a run which has seen them move up to sixth in the table.

They are five points adrift of Tottenham in fourth and seven behind Manchester City at the top.

In the Champions League, they are perilously close to going out in the group stage after three losses from four games.

And they have already been eliminated from the Carabao Cup after Newcastle beat them 3-0 earlier this month.
