‘We’re screwed’ - United fans fear the worst after Diogo Dalot injury scare
United fans are concerned about Diogo Dalot’s future availability for the Reds after the right-back was taken off with what looked like a hamstring injury in Portugal's 1-0 loss to Morocco in the World Cup quarter-finals.
The full-back was seen clutching his leg before he was replaced by Ricardo Horta on 79 minutes. Dalot has played every United game he’s been available for this season.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has featured in both of the club’s mid-season friendlies during the week-long trip to Spain but has barely featured competitively. He’s played just four minutes all campaign while young right-back Ethan Laird is spending the season on loan at Queens Park Rangers.

Why Tom Heaton was 'impressed' with Rhys Bennett vs Real Betis
Tom Heaton was 'really' impressed with United youngster Rhys Bennett's display against Real Betis.
With the exception of starting David de Gea over Martin Dubravka, Erik ten Hag named an unchanged team from the Cadiz defeat to play Real Betis on Saturday evening, but United started the game slowly and they were devoid of quality.
The first half was also marred by the injury sustained by centre-back Teden Mengi, who was forced off with a hamstring problem. Mengi was stretched off and made way for Bennett, who is Manchester-born and won the FA Youth Cup last season.
