So, Amorim suggested Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is set for a spell on the sidelines.

The Portuguese midfielder pulled up holding his hamstring towards the end of the first half at Villa Park. He carried on until half-time, but did not reemerge for the second half.

United manager Ruben Amorim was coy about the severity of the issue, but said Fernandes will likely miss “a few games”, starting with the visit of Newcastle to Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
