The ever-impressive 31-year-old has started every Premier League game for the Red Devils this season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists along the way.

But United boss Ruben Amorim fears Fernandes will now be ruled out for “a while” due to a soft tissue injury that led to his withdrawal at halftime of Sunday's 2-1 loss at Aston Villa.

“It's massive,” Dalot told Sky Sports. “We don't know how bad it is but for him to come off (in) the game, we know how tough he is.”
