There has been further bad news for Manchester United as midfielder Fred looks set for a spell on the sidelines.
United's fading Champions League hopes became even bleaker on Saturday after they suffered an embarrassing 1-0 loss to relegation strugglers Everton at Goodison Park. Despite having all of the ball, a dire lack of creativity meant United were unable to reply to Anthony Gordon's winner in the 27th minute and fell yet further behind Tottenham in fourth place.
Things may well get even worse, too, as Fred had to be substituted in the 36th minute of the match. Ralf Rangnick has now confirmed he suffered a muscle injury on his hip and appears resigned for a period without the Brazilian.
