Hamstring Injury Blow For Young

Louis van Gaal fears that Ashley Young could be out for several weeks after the United player suffered a hamstring injury during the Reds’ draw at Stoke on New Year’s Day.

Young, playing at right wing-back, was forced off with around 15 minutes left at the Britannia Stadium after pulling up whilst running down the wing.

United have had a string of injuries to contend with so far this season, but Young has featured regularly on either the left or right flank.

But after describing the injury as "very bad", the manager told MUTV: "He has a hamstring injury. He's out for many weeks, I think. But I'm not a doctor so we have to wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
