Man Utd sweating as Zirkzee subbed off with injury at Newcastle

Joshua Zirkzee's game was over just ten minutes into the second half, as he was replaced by Rasmus Hojlund after picking up an injury in Manchester United's Premier League fixture against Newcastle United.

The Dutchman went down in the 54th minute, seemingly pulling a hamstring whilst weaving his way across the Newcastle third. He was aided by the United medics as he made his way out of the pitch with the scoreline reading 2-1 for the hosts.

The injury could leave Ruben Amorim's Red Devils squad short in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie against Olympique Lyon on Thursday, and possibly other fixtures against Wolves, Bournemouth, and Brentford after that.

Zirkzee scored in the first leg of his side's 2-2 draw with Lyon in France, but remains goalless in the English top flight since Manchester United's 4-0 demolition of Everton on December 1.
