Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag in 'have to see' verdict after worrying scenes against Liverpool

The centre-back, who has spent the last couple of seasons on loan at Hibs, appeared to suffer a serious-looking injury in the 3-0 friendly defeat to Liverpool in Columbia. While down the pecking order, Fish has been with United on their pre-season tour.

The 21-year-old, who has also spent time on loan at Stockport, was consoled by Ten Hag after coming off worst in a challenge with Harvey Blair. The defender left the field on a stretcher after his leg was put in a brace. Jonny Evans also had to be subbed at half-time while Victor Lindelof was substituted as a precaution in the clash. 

Ten Hag said: “We have to see what has gone on. The assessment, of course, with Will Fish is it’s an impact injury. We also had to sub Jonny Evans at half-time because he was ill. Victor Lindelof [was] a precaution. So, yeah, there are some injuries, but we have to see how bad it will be."

Ten Hag can ill afford more serious injuries with new signing Leny Yoro already out for the start of the season having picked up a foot injury while Rasmus Hojlund is set to miss six weeks with a hamstring problem.
