Ruben Amorim confirms Double Man's injury blow while insisting on the key duo of 'We have to protect' that were removed in victories about Rangers

Ruben Amorim has provided a worrying update of injuries on two key Manchester United defenders after both were invested in the victory of the Europa League on Thursday over the Rangers.

United was practically guaranteed automatic rating for the qualifying stages of the second level European competition with a 2-1 victory over the Rangers in Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes scored a late detention time winner to avoid another shameful moment for English giants, but there was concern for two stars who had to leave the field.

The defenders Leny Yoro and Matthijs of Ligt began the encounter in the favorite support of Amorim along with Lisandro Martínez, but they had to be replaced as the game progressed.

Yoro, 19, was removed from the initial side by Amorim after fighting Southampton in his last appearance, while De Ligt maintained his streak of openings, but changed to play in the heart of the three rear.

Both had kept the attackers of the Rangers in silence throughout the night and it was only when both had been hooked by Amorim that Scottish visitors scored to threaten a possible return.

Now, Amorim has provided an update of injuries on the duo, since both are now a doubt for the trip of Sunday's Premier League to Craven Cottage.

Confirming that Yoro and Ligt had felt an discomfort in the leg during the victory of the Europa League, the head of the United told TNT Sports: 'He (from Ligt) felt something on his leg.

'Also Leny (Yoro), so we can't risk anything. We have to win, but we have to protect the players and show that they are all important at this time.

Ligt's retreat will be the greatest concern after the Dutchman was replaced in part time and will now require an additional evaluation before the critical clash of the Premier League of the weekend.

The Dutchman began 17 of his 21 departures in the Premier League this season and has formed a reliable association along with Martínez and Maguare in the defense of United.

Meanwhile, Yoro lost the beginning of the season after requiring surgery in a foot injury suffered in the preseason and Amorim is taking all precautionary measures to avoid another long -term dismissal.

Real Madrid also looked for the rising star in the summer before joining United and is slowly becoming the demands of English football and Thursday is only its sixth beginning of the season in all competitions.

The last victory of United guaranteed its place in the Play -Offs of the Europa League at least with only one draw, or other teams that failed to win, necessary against Bucharest next week to guarantee their automatic progression to the qualifying stages.
