Donny van de Beek sparks injury scare with photo of swollen ankle

Manchester United have been dealt with another blow after midfielder, Donny van de Beek sparked injury worries.

The 23-year-old midfielder posted a picture of his swollen ankle on Instagram with the caption: ‘welcome to the Premier League’ after Sunday’s game against Southampton.

Van de Beek made his first Premier League start in United’s 3-2 victory against Southampton and was on the receiving end of some tough tackles.

United were two goals down at half time after goals from Jan Bednarek and James Ward-Prowse had put Southampton in a comfortable situation.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men changed the rhythm in the second half as Bruno Fernandes scored a goal before substitute Edinson Cavani sealed the victory with his brace.

Van de Beek has had to be very patient since joining United as he has frequently been named as a substitute.

Meanwhile, United’s number one goalie, David de Gea will have a scan on his knee on Monday ahead of their Champions League meeting with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spanish goalkeeper was replaced by Dean Henderson at half time after colliding with the post in an effort to stop James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick.

Manchester United will host PSG at Old Trafford for the Group H Champions League game on Wednesday.
