The club’s no.1 has been ruled out of the highly-anticipated game at Old Trafford due to the injury he sustained while representing his native Spain on Tuesday evening.

De Gea had been performing well against Victor Lindelof’s Sweden in the Euro 2020 qualifying match, but was unfortunately forced off in the second half with a muscle injury.

Spain's head coach Robert Moreno later admitted that David initially reported the problem at half-time, but chose to play on after receiving treatment from the national team's medical staff.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the 28-year-old will now undergo a scan on the issue and further information will be provided in due course.
