United head coach Ruben Amorim will hope Fernandes recovers swiftlty due to his importance to his side. Fernandes has scored five goals and has six assists in 17 Premier League matches.

Fernandes’ injury adds to Amorim’s concerns in midfield after Kobbi Mainoo sustained a knock in Saturday’s training session.

United is also without Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui, who all are away on AFCON duty with their respective countries.
