Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek has left the field in tears after receiving a nasty knee injury against Bournemouth.
The midfielder, on just his second Premier League start of the season, was substituted off at the end of the first half on Tuesday evening after Marcos Senesi slipped and slid into his leg.
Surrounded by medical staff, Van de Beek limped off, covering his face to hide his emotion, with manager Erik ten Hag later admitting: ‘We need to wait 24 hours, but it’s not looking good.’

The incident, in the 42nd minute of a game United went on to win 3-0, saw Cherries defender Senesi racing towards the Dutchman to contest a 50-50 tackle.
Social media footage then shows Van de Beek’s right leg crumpling under the tackle in a horror moment.
Van de Beek covered his face as he left the pitch to hide his emotion – it is more bad luck for the 25-year-old on just his second Premier League start of the season for Erik ten Hag’s outfit
The former Ajax star, 25, immediately cried out in agony, with team-mates and opponents quickly realising the severity of the injury.
It was only £40million signing Van de Beek’s second Premier League start of the season, with just 162 league minutes played across the entire league campaign so far.
And it now seems he will be out for the foreseeable future, with knee injuries involving notoriously long and painstaking recovery processes.
Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford were all on the scoresheet for United, who moved to one point away from champions Manchester City in the table.
