Ruben Amorim has provided a concerning injury update on two key Manchester United defenders after both were subbed off in Thursday's Europa League win over Rangers.

United virtually guaranteed themselves automatic qualification for the knockout stages of the second-tier European competition with a 2-1 win over Rangers at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes scored a late stoppage time winner to avoid another embarrassing moment for the English giants, but there was concern over two stars who had to leave the pitch.

Defenders Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt both started the encounter in Amorim's preferred back-three alongside Lisandro Martinez but had to be replaced as the match progressed.
