Harry Maguire has been filmed hobbling out of Villa Park following Man United's draw with Aston Villa in the latest injury blow for the club.

United entered Sunday's clash with Aston Villa in desperate need of a result following a dismal start to the campaign.

Speculation surrounding Erik ten Hag's future at the club reached fever pitch ahead of the 2pm kick-off, and Gary Neville slammed the Dutchman for straying for his plan to take the club forward after the starting XI was announced.

Ten Hag divisively opted for Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire in the heart of his defence, with the former producing one of his best performances since returning to the club as they kept a clean sheet in a goalless draw.

However, Maguire appeared to suffer an injury to his calf during the first half and was replaced at half-time by summer signing Matthijs De Ligt.

A calf injury sustained towards the end of last season saw Maguire absent for much of United's run-in, including their FA Cup triumph over rivals Man City in May.

The 32-year-old desperately attempted to regain fitness in time for the European Championships but was ultimately left out by Gareth Southgate as England suffered Euro heartbreak in Germany, falling at the final hurdle against Spain.

Noussair Mazraoui also made way for Victor Lindelof during the interval after seemingly picking up a knock during the first half.

Speaking following the game Ten Hag declined the comment on the severity of the injuries and insisted they will assess further on Monday.

'We have to assess this,' he told MUTV. 'I can't tell you now what the issue is. I know what the issue is but [I cannot say now] how good or bad it is.

'We have to see assess this tomorrow and then we will bring you news.'

United currently have a number of players on the treatment table, including Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw.
