Manchester United vs Southampton -  5 Key Talking Points

#3 Injury update on Romelu Lukaku; More headaches for Mourinho

Romelu Lukaku appears to be quite alright after that unfortunate coming together with Wesley Hoedt- although he will miss two games - as he's being treated at the club itself rather than a hospital;

Mourinho was pragmatic about the incident - "That's football. He was just unlucky. I think the Dutch central defender goes with him for the ball and it's unlucky for Romelu and unlucky for Hoedt. It was nothing aggressive and, hopefully, nothing important. But the first consequence of is he didn't play for the rest of the game."

He also added - "I don’t know," Mourinho added about a timescale on the summer signing's return. "I know that normally bad, bad news arrives immediately. Bad news didn't arrive. I think that there’s a problem for the next two matches. For sure."

No Lukaku for two games, No Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a month. No Antonio Valencia. Potentially no Ashley Young (after he elbowed Dusan Tadic off the ball and could well be charged for violent conduct)
