Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez was stretchered off with an ankle injury during the Premier League clash with Aston Villa on Saturday.

The 23-year-old Mexican went down in the Villa penalty box untouched by an opposing defender, appearing to turn on his left ankle early into the game.

United won the dreary game 1-0 at Villa Park.
