Four midfielders Manchester United could sign on deadline day to deputise for Christian Eriksen

Manchester United are set to be without midfielder Christian Eriksen for at least three months after he suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's FA Cup win over Reading.

The 30-year-old left Old Trafford on crutches after being on the wrong end of a reckless challenge from Andy Carroll in the Reds' 3-1 victory over the Championship side.

Eriksen went for a scan on the injury and the club have confirmed that the Denmark international is facing a lengthy lay-off. United are hopeful that he will play again before the end of the season, but his return is likely to come in late April or early May.
