Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will be sidelined for “a while” after sustaining a hamstring injury in their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.
Fernandes pulled up in the first half with no one near him and was seen rubbing the back of his right leg.
Amorim subsequently decided to replace Fernandes with Lisandro Martinez during the interval.
“I think it’s soft tissue, so it’s going to be a while. We’ll see,” Amorim told Sky Sports.
“It is really strange. During this year, especially at this time, we have so many problems, but we have to cope with that.”

The Spaniard was answering questions about Xabi Alonso, who future is now uncertain at the Bernabeu, following a poor run of form.
Managing Real Madrid is the hardest job in football,” Guardiola said.
“If I performed the way I did last season as Real Madrid’s manager, I would’ve been sacked in six months.”
