DAVID DE GEA JOINS MAN UNITED LONG LIST OF INJURY


Manchester United added Spain goalkeeper  David De Gea to their long injury list after the goal tender was injured in the warm-up ahead of Thursday's Europa League game in Denmark.
He was replaced in the starting XI by Sergio Romero for the round-of-32, first-leg clash against Midtjylland.
Romero made his first appearance since the defeat on penalties to Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup.
United have been hit by a series of injuries in recent weeks.
The latest has seen them lose midfielder Marouane Fellaini after scans revealed a tear in his hamstring which is set to rule him out until the end of March.
On Wednesday, the Times reported striker Wayne Rooney could miss two months of the season with a knee ligament injury.
The club did not explain the forward's absence, and manager Louis van Gaal confirmed he had a knee injury but would not say how long Rooney would be out.
Also among the Man United injured are Matteo Darmian, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young.
Adnan Januzaj is also hurt, but he was cup-tied while on loan at Dortmund and so would not be available on Thursday even if he were healthy.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson missed Thursday's game because of illness.
