Manchester United's star man suffers injury ahead of Leeds United trip with boss forced into big change

Manchester United’s star man has suffered an injury ahead of his team’s Leeds United’s trip.

Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes has suffered an injury ahead of his team’s Leeds United trip which led to the captain being taken off against Aston Villa.

Fernandes has once again been in brilliant form for the Red Devils and continued his run of starting every Premier League game so far this season in Sunday afternoon’s clash at Villa.

Fernandes, though, pulled up injured towards the end of the first half with what appeared to be a hamstring injury and was eventually taken off at the break.

The Portuguese international star initially attempted to continue and indeed went close to scoring but the midfielder then signalled the need for a change to the bench and was replaced by Lisandro Martinez during the break.

The Red Devils visit Leeds in the second game of the new year in a 12.30pm kick-off at Elland Road on Sunday, January 4 - just three days after the New Year’s Day trip to Liverpool for Daniel Farke’s Whites.
