Huge blow for Man Utd as Alejandro Garnacho spotted leaving Old Trafford on crutches with protective boot after Southampton stalemate

  • Argentine winger looked to be injured after the game
  • He came on in the second half only to be subbed off in added time
  • Garnacho had gone down from a tackle by Walker-Peters

WHAT HAPPENED? The tricky winger came on in the second half of the 0-0 draw with Saints at Old Trafford but was then substituted in added time after going down under a tackle by Kyle Walker-Peters. He limped slowly down the touchline but was then photographed by journalist Mark Critchley using crutches and sporting a protective boot on his right foot.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: United boss Erik ten Hag did not seem overly concerned with the injury, however. Explaining in a post-match press conference why he brought the Argentine wonderkid off, he said: "He was limping a bit after the tackle so in the end they bring on another striker, we were already down to 10 men."
