The summer signing from Luton was carried from the pitch during United's 4-2 defeat at West Brom on Saturday after missing the start of the campaign with a knee injury.

"We think it might be his medial ligament," said Carver. "He's had a problem and that's why he's missed the start of the season. We'll get him in, assess the damage and see what the situation is. He looks like he could be out a few weeks."

He added: "I feel for him because he's worked so hard to get himself back into contention."
