MANCHESTER UNITED star Patrick Dorgu is set to be out for 10 weeks with a hamstring injury.
The Dane, 21, pulled up with 10 minutes remaining of United’s 3-2 win at Arsenal on Sunday.
Dorgu had produced a brilliant performance at the Emirates, capping it off by scoring a sensational goal to put his side 2-1 up.
But as he chased a long ball late on, the flying wing-back felt an issue in his hamstring and was forced off following treatment.
According to The Athletic, United are still assessing the injury – with 10 weeks an early estimate.
Interim boss Michael Carrick initially hoped that Dorgu had gone off with cramp, rather than a serious issue.

Carrick, 44, said on Sunday: “He obviously came off with, hopefully, a little bit of cramp, hopefully, it’s nothing worse.
“At this stage, it’s hard to tell, so we’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully it’s not too bad.”
A 10-week lay-off would see Dorgu ruled out of United’s next eight matches.
In this period, United face the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Tottenham.
