Here are your latest Manchester United morning headlines on Saturday, April 15.
Double injury blow confirmed
Manchester United have been dealt a bitter blow after defender Lisandro Martinez was ruled out for the rest of the season.
The defender, who has been one of United's standout players so far this term, was carried off the pitch by Sevilla players during Thursday night's 2-2 Europa League draw at Old Trafford after worryingly stopping in his tracks while under no pressure late in the game and grabbing his right ankle in pain.

United have now confirmed that the Argentine has fractured a metatarsal bone in his foot, cutting his first season with the club short, but insisting a full recovery should be made before the start of the next campaign.
Meanwhile the club have also confirmed that Raphael Varane has been ruled out for "a few weeks". The Frenchman was replaced by Harry Maguire at half-time during the midweek tie after he had gone down.
Lindelof 'solves' injury crisis
As things stand, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof are the only two centre-backs available, although there is positive news regarding Luke Shaw, who has been used there this season, and his comeback.
Concerns at the back will be magnified later this month when Maguire is suspended for their FA Cup semi-final with Brighton, especially if Varane and Martinez do not return by then. Lindelof, though, appears up for the challenge and he provided a one-man defensive unit in one training drill.
