The England international, who has scored a career-best 28 goals this season, will be sidelined for a “few games,” which places doubts over his availability for the FA Cup semifinal against Brighton on April 23.

The United manager would not confirm precisely how long the forward was expected to be out. “I can’t give more details because we don’t know. We have to see how the injury develops,” Ten Hag s...
