Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo was substituted against Tottenham Hotspur today after picking up an injury.
The England international has been a revelation since his debut for the Red Devils, but he was unable to play for more than 45 minutes today.
Mainoo was replaced by Mason Mount shortly after Fernandes’ sending off and Fabrizio Romano claims that he sustained an injury.
The news is a huge blow for the Red Devils, considering Mainoo has emerged as a stand-out player in their midfield in recent months.
United face a tough Europa League trip to Porto in midweek before facing Aston Villa in Sunday’s late kick-off away from home.
With Fernandes suspended and Mainoo injured, they face an uphill task of securing a positive result against both of those teams.
The frontmen will need to step up in the coming games to ensure that Erik ten Hag remains in the managerial role before the international break.
The Dutchman is under immense pressure after the 3-0 loss to Spurs.
