Alan Shearer says Bruno Fernandes’ hamstring injury ‘will hurt’ Manchester United, as the skipper faces time out after the 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. With Maguire, Mainoo and de Ligt already sidelined, United’s medical room now looks busier than Old Trafford’s Christmas shop queue.

Manager Ruben Amorim confirmed Bruno will miss upcoming games against Newcastle, Wolves, Leeds and Burnley, but hopes his quick recovery record continues.
