Medical expert Ben Dinnery has weighed in on Donny van de Beek's nasty knee injury in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
Speaking to Football Insider, Dinnery explained: "The knee hyperextended and then you also see the knee bend inwards. When you add the external force and the power from the challenge – it didn’t look great.
"Internally, Manchester United will now be carrying out a number of tests to evaluate the player, checking the integrity of the ligaments. The ACL is the obvious one – the Lachman test.”
"It will be a good indication of if there is any damage, and they’ll also check for a fracture of the bone as well as any damage to the posterior cruciate ligament. Given the force of the challenge and the mechanism of the injury, they don’t usually happen in isolation."
Dinnery further added that Van de Beek could be out for up to a year as he heals and recovers fully from the knee damage.
