Ruben Amorim has revealed Manchester United will be without another player after Victor Lindelof suffered an injury setback in Thursday's cup defeat. United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham in a thrilling 4-3 defeat that saw the visitors make a series of key defensive mistakes on their trip to the capital.

Amorim made a swathe of changes as he opted to rest more regular starters for the cup clash and named Lindelof as a surprise start in a three-man centre-back partnership. The Sweden international has been sidelined since suffering an injury while competing in the Nations League last month but was declared fit enough to make his first start under Amorim.

It was a chance for Lindelof to impress the newly-appointed United head coach amidst fierce defensive competition at the club only to leave the pitch distraught with a new injury complaint. The 30-year-old appeared in pain as he was substituted just before half-time against Spurs and concerningly headed straight down the tunnel with a physio after being unable to continue.
