JOSE MOURINHO is not optimistic about the injuries sustained by Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for Manchester United.
By JACK STAPLEHURST
Both stars were withdrawn during United’s crucial Europa League triumph over Anderlecht tonight.
The Red Devils had to go to extra-time but eventually saw off their Belgian opponents 2-1 on the night (3-2 on aggregate).
However, centre-half Rojo was stretchered off during the first half with a knee problem after making two tackles.
And top goalscorer Ibrahimovic also damaged his knee, landing awkwardly.
He was substituted
"I dont think the are easy injuries but I prefer to wait until all the tests are done and then speak,” Mourinho told BT Sport.
“I can't do that because I am a manager not a doctor.
"But the news is fairly negative I think."
United travel to Burnley on Sunday (2.15pm), leaving Rojo and Ibrahimovic almost certain not to feature.
