"Manchester United fear Patrick Dorgu could be ruled out for a number of weeks with the injury sustained during the win over Arsenal on Sunday, sources have told ESPN. The Danish international, who scored a splendid goal in the 3-2 victory at the Emirates, was forced off nine minutes from time. Caretaker boss Michael Carrick said afterwards that he hoped the problem was just cramp. However, Dorgu was unable to fulfil post-match media commitments after the game because he was undergoing treatment."
"Further assessment on Monday has revealed the problem may be worse than first feared and that the 21-year-old could be ruled for a long period. Sources have told ESPN that United do not yet have a solid timeline for Dorgu's return ahead of further tests on Tuesday. A prolonged absence would represent a blow for Carrick, who has seen Dorgu score in both his games in charge -- first in the 2-0 win over Manchester City and then against Arsenal."
"The demonstration will be directed at majority owners the Glazer family, but also minority stakeholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe. "Recent results are down to Michael Carrick and the players and they have come in spite of our inept ownership, not because of it," said a spokesperson for The 1958. "This club continues to fumble from one calamity to the next. Fans should not be fooled by two good results. We have been here too many times before.""
Patrick Dorgu sustained an injury late in Manchester United's 3-2 win at Arsenal and was forced off nine minutes from time after scoring. Initial hopes that the issue was cramp gave way to concern after further assessment on Monday, with the 21-year-old possibly ruled out for a number of weeks and no firm return timeline ahead of further tests on Tuesday. A prolonged absence would be a setback for caretaker boss Michael Carrick, who saw Dorgu score in both his first two games in charge. Supporter group The 1958 plan a protest targeting majority owners the Glazer family and minority stakeholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
