Manchester United's new £18.6m signing
Michael Carrick is set to miss the start of the Premiership season after injuring his left foot against Ajax.
The midfielder lasted just 14 minutes on his second appearance before getting injured in a tackle from behind.
"It looks like he'll be out for a few weeks - there's a lot of swelling," said manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United's first league game is against Fulham on 20 August and
Ferguson already has several injury worries with Gary Neville, Gabriel Heinze and Nemanja Vidic all currently sidelined.
Rio Ferdinand and John O'Shea also picked up injuries against Porto although both should be fit for the start of the season.
Fuck. That is all very bad news given the fact that
Rooney and Scholes are also likely to miss the start of the season because of red cards they recieved against Porto. The large number of players missing was a key factor in our poor start to the last season. Hopefully the same dosen't happen this season.
In the only good news of the night...Ryan Giggs' free-kick gave United a 1-0 win and meant they were the winners of the four-team LG Amsterdam tournament....but at some cost.
