Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho reveals he is facing an injury lay-off after leaving Old Trafford on crutches due to an ankle knock at the weekend - as he also confirms his withdrawal from the Argentina squad

Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho has admitted he is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury against Southampton at the weekend.

The 18-year-old winger, who has broken into the first team this season, limped off in United's 0-0 draw against Saints on Sunday after a firm but fair sliding tackle from Kyle Walker-Peters.

Garnacho, who had come on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, seemed in agony on the Old Trafford pitch after the challenge on 82 minutes but played on for a further eight before being taken off in the final minute.
