Donald Love: Limped out of U21 action

Manchester United’s lengthy injury list appeared to grow after another defensive setback during an Under-21 game on Monday night.

The Old Trafford club currently have 13 first-team players out, prompting manager Louis van Gaal to call upon some of his younger players, including breakout sensation Marcus Rashford.

Defender Donald Love – himself an academy player – looks to have joined the injury list, appearing to go off hurt during a fixture with Middlesbrough.

The 21-year-old has made two senior appearances for United after a loan spell with Wigan.
