St Etienne 0-1 Man United: Mkhitaryan scores, but limps off injured

Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the only goal of the game but had to be taken off injured as Manchester United beat St Etienne 1-0 on Wednesday to complete a 4-0 aggregate win, Eurosport reports.

The Armenian appeared to be clutching his hamstring as he went off to be replaced by Marcus Rashford and could be a doubt for the EFL Cup final against Southampton on Sunday.

In the end it was comfortable for United but they will be without Eric Bailly in the first leg of the next round after he was sent off for two bookable offences.

The Ivorian, who was already one yellow away from suspension, will be available for the second leg but will still be one caution away from missing another game.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
