Sunday 3 March 2019 14:07, UK
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he fears Alexis Sanchez has suffered ligament damage in his knee after he was forced to substitute the forward in Manchester United's win over Southampton on Saturday.
Sanchez went down following a collision in the Saints' penalty area, and was forced off shortly afterwards, with Diogo Dalot replacing him.
Asked about the Chilean's injury, after he had seen his side claim a dramatic 3-2 victory, United's caretaker manager said: "We don't know yet. He got a knock on his knee.
"It might be his ligaments. We'll do the scan tomorrow. Hopefully, it won't be too bad but we won't know until we've done the scans.
