Manchestester United temporary boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said Alexis Sanchez may have suffered knee ligament damage in his team’s 3-2 over Southampton on Saturday.
The former Arsenal star limped heavily as he exited Old Traffrd leaving Ole with more injury worries to add to the already long list.
His words, “We haven’t checked [Sanchez] too much,” Solskjaer said. “It might be the ligament, it’s a bad knock on his knee.
“We’ll do a scan [on Sunday] but we don’t know until we’ve done the scan. We’re playing against one of the best teams in Europe with some absolute quality players but who knows, this has happened before.
“We have to do it away from home. We’re confident away from home if we’re in the game with 10 minutes to go — who knows?”
On Pereira, who scored one of the goal against the Saints, he said, “I’m so pleased for him and so happy for him,” Solskjaer said. “He’s gone through the academy — we know what he’s capable of.
“A goal and an assist, it’s a nice day for him to remember. Young kids at the start of their careers when they get criticism there’s nothing better than seeing them grabbing their chance when they get it.”
