The Swedish top scorer was crocked at end of normal time as the Red Devils edged through in the Europa League quarter-final against Anderlecht.

It was a victory that came at a cost, with the 28-goal marksman landing awkwardly as his right led bent the other way while attempting to win a header.

The injury happened with the scores level before Marcus Rashford scored the extra-time winner, with Ibrahimovic rolling around the floor in agony.

But he did manage to hobble off the pitch without the use of a stretcher - unlike defender Marcos Rojo, who was carried off with a knee problem in the first half.

When asked after the match, a worried United boss Jose Mourinho said: "I want to wait, but my feeling is not good for both. I want to wait and try to be optimistic, but I am not."

However Luke Shaw did appear to be more positive, claiming the 35-year-old was able to walk in the changing room after the game.

But with Ibrahimovic still to sign another deal at Old Trafford with reports of MLS sides trying to lure him across the pond, United fans worry he will be out for the season and we will have seen the last of him in a United shirt.

It is a bad time for Mourinho to have injuries, as they currently lie fifth in the Premier League, just four points behind fouth-placed Manchester City with a game in hand.

And Rojo's injury leaves him without three first-choice centre backs, as Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are also both out.
