“It is bad because he is now in hospital,” said manager Louis van Gaal.

“He was spitting blood. It looks like his rib and his chest, but we have to wait and see as I cannot say. It was not a nice view for the players to see that.

“I can only say that is the fifth full back who has been injured so that is what I have to do every week – make solutions to sort the problem.”
