'Big loss' - Man United fans share FA Cup concern as Antony taken off on stretcher vs Chelsea

Manchester United winger Antony left the Old Trafford pitch on a stretcher after suffering what looked to be an ankle injury in the game against Chelsea.

The Brazilian was caught before the half-hour mark by a challenge from Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, who got the ball with his sliding tackle but inadvertently followed through.

After demanding a free-kick, the 23-year-old was left writhing in pain inside the Chelsea area until being met by United's medical staff. Clearly in pain, Antony attempted to stand but was unable to carry on.

United face Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley next week, with many fans taking to social media to share their concern that Antony may not be available.
