Alexis Sanchez Hobbles Off Against Southampton as Man Utd Injury Crisis Deepens

Manchester United's current injury crisis appears to have deepened after Alexis Sanchez was forced off during their 3-2 win over Southampton at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunner Solskjaer was already limited for options prior to kick off with Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Ander Hererra, Antonio Valencia, Phil Jones and Matteo Darmian all missing out due to injury, and it looks as though Sanchez is set to join them on the treatment table.

The Chilean international clashed with Southampton defender Jan Bednarek and immediately went down clutching his knee, receiving treatment on the pitch before hobbling off - but United's interim boss seemed to confirm the fans' worst fears.
