Manchester United’s injury woes deepened just seven minutes into their Premier League match against Swansea when Luke Shaw was forced off - and things got worse in the second half.

Jose Mourinho had joked that he would have to play at centre-back for Sunday’s match at Old Trafford due to the club’s extensive injury problems, which have come at one of the most congested points of the season.
Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo were all missing, meaning Daley Blind partnered Eric Bailly at the back with Shaw and Ashley Young on either side.
But Shaw went down clutching his leg in the early exchanges and was replaced by Antonio Valencia.
In the second half, Bailly then injured his leg in a challenge and was replaced by Matteo Darmian.
United play away at Celta Vigo in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday night, before making the trip to Arsenal next weekend.
