Christian Eriksen will undergo a scan to determine the extent of his injury after being seen leaving Old Trafford on crutches following Saturday's FA Cup victory over Reading.
The Danish midfielder is waiting to find out how long he faces on the sidelines with concerning footage shared by a fan on Twitter showing him hobbling out of Manchester United's home ground.
Eriksen can be seen wearing a grey protective boot and using the aid of two crutches as he exits the stadium after being caught by Reading striker Andy Carroll.
United's midfield star could now face a lengthy spell on the periphery of Erik ten Hag's squad having been caught late in a challenge that saw him subbed off and head for immediate treatment.
United's dominant 3-1 fourth round cup win over the Championship side on Saturday evening maintains United's status as the only Premier League side left in four competitions.

But, the post-game footage of Eriksen will concern United supporters given the midfielder's impressive performances have been crucial to the team's success this season.
The video has quickly gathered over one million views on Twitter as a stern-looking Eriksen keeps his left foot raised in the air while using crutches to hold himself up as he makes his way to the team coach.
Man United manager Ten Hag confirmed he didn't know how long Eriksen's injury break could be, admitting in Saturday's post-match press conference that a diagnosis couldn't be made until Sunday.
The Dutchman explained: 'It's always difficult to say in this moment so short after the game has finished.
'But it's an ankle [injury]. We have to see what is the diagnosis, so it costs us a minimum of 24 hours before we know that and then I can say more.'

The 30-year-old has gone under the radar as one of the steals of the summer transfer window, making 30 appearances in all competitions for the Reds so far this season and registering two goals and nine assists in the process.
But Eriksen is now a major concern for United's upcoming Carabao Cup second-leg clash with Nottingham Forest, however even more worryingly could miss key fixtures against Crystal Palace, Leeds, Barcelona, and Liverpool in the Premier League.
United lack a natural replacement for the playmaker with Fred and Scott McTominay the most likely of options available to Ten Hag and his backroom staff.

Caroll nih jadi agent Liverpool, biar United pemainnya pada cedera, dapat kartu merah karena 2x kartu kuning, menekel Eriksen dan Casemiro, untung Casemiro gak ikutan cedera. semoga Eriksen gak cedera lama, apalagi jadwal United masih padat dan masih berlaga di 4 kompetisi. semoga Fred bisa menggantikan posisi Eriksen sementara tanpa celah
