Ruben Amorim admits he is concerned for Matthijs de Ligt after he was forced off during Manchester United’s defeat by Brentford on Sunday.
The Netherlands international appeared to pick up an injury prior to Brentford’s second goal of the first half at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The 25-year-old received treatment on the pitch but could not continue and was replaced by Harry Maguire. United were left angered as Kevin Schade scored with De Ligt still on the ground.

United head coach Amorim says he is still in the dark over the exact nature of the injury or how long he may or may not be sidelined for.
“I don’t know so I’m really concerned — not about Thursday (the Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Club),” Amorim told Sky Sports.
“We took off Luke Shaw at half-time to protect and have players for Thursday, but I’m more concerned whether it is a small or big injury and thinking about next season.”
“I hope it’s nothing serious,” he added to the BBC. “We took a risk with Maguire. Shaw had to go out because we need players for Thursday.”
United are already without fellow central defender Lisandro Martinez, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in February, and full-back Diogo Dalot, who has a calf issue.
Sunday’s game was De Ligt’s first start in any competition since April 2 after missing United’s last six matches.
He returned from the bench against Athletic Club on Thursday, playing the final 25 minutes in Bilbao.
United lead the tie 3-0 after two goals from Bruno Fernandes and one from Casemiro ahead of Thursday’s second leg.
With that game at Old Trafford in mind Amorim made eight changes to his side for the trip to west London.
Two goals from Schade alongside one for Yoana Wissa and a Shaw own goal saw Brentford emerge as 4-3 winners despite replies from Mason Mount, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad.
Defeat leaves United 15th in the Premier League table, who are now six without a win in the league.

Vasco melhora sem Vegetti e Coutinho, mas falha de Hugo Moura sela derrota para o Palmeiras
O Vasco deu sinais de melhora e jogou boa parte do tempo de igual para igual com o Palmeiras, em Brasília, mas acabou derrotado depois de uma falha fatal do volante Hugo Moura. Sem Vegetti e Coutinho, poupados, Felipe Maestro mandou a campo uma equipe mais equilibrada física e taticamente, que começou melhor que o adversário. Após acertar mais finalizações e por pouco não sair na frente, o Vasco levou o gol na etapa final, nos pés de Vitor Roque: 1 a 0. É o sexto jogo seguido sem vitória vascaína, apesar de Felipe ter encontrado boas soluções. Na quarta-feira, o time encara o Puerto Cabello, pela Sul-Americana. No Brasileiro, segue a queda livre, agora na décima-terceira posição. - Nosso primeiro tempo foi muito bom. Palmeiras teve mais volume no segundo tempo. O erro acontece.
