Erik ten Hag admitted Donny van de Beek‘s injury is “a concern” after the Manchester United midfielder was forced off during a 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
Van de Beek had to be substituted just before half-time following a heavy challenge from Marcos Senesi. The Dutchman was able to walk off the pitch, but afterwards Ten Hag admitted the injury “doesn’t look good.”

“It’s difficult to say, we have to wait 24 hours before we can give a good diagnosis,” Ten Hag told a news conference on Tuesday. “It is [a concern]. I can’t say in this moment [what the injury is]. You have to wait 24 hours, but it doesn’t look good.”
Van de Beek’s injury was the one downside for Ten Hag, who saw his team win for the sixth game in a row. Victory over Bournemouth moved United to within a point of second-place Manchester City and Ten Hag admitted an unlikely title challenge might be “possible.”
