    Man Utd hit with fresh injury blow as star’s stunning Wag shows picture of defender hobbling in CRUTCHES

    MANCHESTER UNITED’s injury woes have deepened thanks to Victor Lindelof.The Red Devils are already in the midst of a defensive crisis thanks to injuries to Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and newboy Leny Yoro.Erik ten Hag is currently managing a defensive crisisCredit: REXVictor Lindelof is the latest Red Devil in the treatment roomCredit: GETTYLindelof’s wife, Maja, posted a video of him hobbling on crutchesCredit: INSTAGRAM@MAJANILSSONLINDELOFVictor and Maja have been married for five yearsCredit: VOGUE SCANDINAVIANBut Lindelof’s name has been added to the list of the walking wounded at Old Trafford.The centre-back’s wife, Maja Nilsson, shared a video of her crocked hubby using crutches on her Instagram story.Her caption emblazoned across the image read: “Doing everything in slow motion these days.”United have yet to give any indication as to what injury Lindelof is suffering from.READ MORE MAN UTD NEWSThe Sweden defender was, however, blighted by hamstring and groin injuries last season – in which he missed 22 matches for club and country.Lindelof’s injury has somewhat been offset by the summer arrivals of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.United kicked off the new Premier League season on Friday night with a 1-0 win over Fulham.An 87th-minute winner from £36.5million signing Joshua Zirkzee got the Red Devils up and running for the season.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSMan Utd ratings vs Fulham as new boys shine… but Mount and Amad struggleDEBUTANT Joshua Zirkzee was the hero for Manchester United in an evening where their new guns showed what they are all about.The Dutchman had to remain patient for his opportunity but he took it brilliantly once he came on the pitch.Zirkzee came on for Mason Mount on the hour mark and had been quiet up until his pivotal moment.Ten Hag will take positives from the display and it was his astute sub which led to the winner as his side got their season off to a flyer.Here is how SunSport’s Phil Thomas rated the Red Devils display…Andre Onana – 6Made an outstanding early tip over from Kenny Tete and was rarely seriously troubled beyond that.Noussair Mazraoui – 7A pretty impressive debut from the Moroccan. Looks assured on the ball, gets forward in support and can put a foot in.Harry Maguire – 7Dominant and commanding in defence, but embarrassingly booked for diving at the other end. Really Harry, even you?Lisandro Martinez – 6Skinned by Adama Traore early. Showed all his defensive guile in how he handled him after that, and got back superbly to deny a breakaway goal.Diogo Dalot – 6Had his hands full dealing with Traore’s pace, but knocked in a couple of wicked curling crosses at the other end.Casemiro – 7Headed over then shot over, but two great passes put Fernandes clean through. Often looked United’s most likely source of a goal.Kobbie Mainoo – 8So crisp, so tidy, so rarely wastes a pass. Another near-flawless, if not exactly flair-packed, display from the youngster. Fizzed a shot just wide, too.Mason Mount – 5So desperate to do well, which earned him an early booking. Only Leno’s legs denied him the goal his effort deserved.Amad Diallo – 5Made one marvellous mazy run into the box, although the tumble to ground that followed wasn’t so impressive.Marcus Rashford – 6Still nowhere near the star of two years ago, but another step in the right direction at least. Some way to get yet, though.Bruno Fernandes – 7Fluffed two great chances, driving at keeper Leno’s legs twice when Casemiro put him through, but sprayed passes around and started the move for the winner.SubsAlejandro Garnacho (for Diallo, 60mins) – 6Put a spark in United when he came off the bench and teed up the winner.Joshua Zirkzee (for Mount, 60 mins) – 7The debut he dreamed of. Barely had a touch, but then fed the ball wide and stuck out his left foot to jab the winner.Matthijs de Ligt – (for Mazraoui, 81 mins) – 5Was only on for the last ten minutes and looked solid although he did not have too much to doJonny Evans (for Maguire, 81 mins) – 5Scott McTominay (for Mainoo, 84 mins) – 5Manager Erik ten Hag said: “It’s just [the] first game. But it’s good to strengthen the belief, confidence in the team.”But it’s not only the win but also the performance that’s OK.Fans stunned by ‘insane’ giant screens in bar showing Man Utd game and ask ‘are you sure you’re not in Old Trafford'”And, I have seen many spaces where we can, and where we have to, improve.”But that’s normal, first game of the season.” More

    KYLE Walker is geared up to launch a harassment case against Lauryn Goodman after revealing a heartbreaking confession.The Man City defender, 34, is considering taking legal action against his ex-mistress to prevent her from sharing their personal life on social media.Kyle Walker is reportedly considering legal action against Lauryn Goodman to protect his childrenCredit: PAThe influencer shares two children with the Man City aceCredit: GettyPals of the £150,000 a week pro claim he has already been in touch with lawyers as influencer Lauryn, 33, continues to air her grievances online.A source said Kyle is “carefully looking at options” and has heard advice from two law firms in order to protect his children. The footballer shares four sons with scorned wife Annie Kilner, who last week blocked his return to their family £4million Cheshire mansion.It is understood the love rat was hoping for a reconciliation after their Turkey and Wales holidays. Instead, the footballer has been forced to stay in Premier League owned apartment.The source claimed Kyle wants to protect Roman, Riaan, Reign and Rezon, from any online harm as Lauryn continues to post following their bitter court row last month.A judge slammed the Celebs Go Dating star for using her footballer baby-dad as an “open-ended cheque book”.Her eye-watering list of demands was unveiled bombshell documents.Most read in FootballThey included £33,000 for air conditioning at her seven-bedroom mansion in Hove, Sussex, a £22,000 furnishing fund, £70,000 for a Mercedes GLE, to be replaced every three years, and a £30,000 car allowance for a nanny.But Lauryn later blasted Judge Edward Hess on social media and pokes fun at his comments.

We have no idea what kind of things he said to her or what he promised. But in the end, she became hell-bent on breaking them up.”And, Lauryn’s own sister, glamour model Chloe, slammed the mum-of-two and vowed she couldn’t forgive her.She told The Sun how the feud saw her disinvite her sister from her dream wedding, claiming she had been “kept in the dark”.It comes after Lauryn sent a bombshell message to Annie on Boxing Day revealing Kyle fathered her second child.Annie, who was pregnant with Rezon at the time, swiftly kicked the £150,000-a-week defender out of their family home.She had previously welcomed him back after it was exposed he was dad to Lauryn’s son Kario.In an exclusive interview with The Sun soon after his second love child was revealed, Kyle publicly apologised to his estranged wife.He spoke of his desire to save the marriage and described Annie as his “soulmate”.She was later at the Etihad Stadium to support him as City won the title for a record fourth time in a row.READ MORE SUN STORIESAnd she attended all but one of England’s matches at the Euros in Germany.Lauryn also travelled to one of them with their son, Kairo, four.Kyle Walker’s sit-down interview with The SunBy Paul SimsENGLAND ace Kyle Walker admitted in January he made “idiot choices and idiot decisions” over his secret child and ­bitterly regrets betraying soulmate wife Annie.In a sit-down interview with The Sun, this is what he said.“What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility.“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.“The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.“There have been days in this ordeal where I’ve just wanted to curl up in a ball and go to sleep.“The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone.“My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.“I am a private man but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done.“It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media. But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.“When I met Annie at 17, I never envisaged my private life being like this. I never thought I would be a father of six.“In football I’ve achieved more than what I ever thought I would achieve. But to personally hurt what I truly believe is my best friend, that’s what hurts a lot.“How could I hurt someone I love so much? That’s something I need to find in myself.“I need to find out why I have done this and why situations have occurred. I am human and I’ve made mistakes on and off the field.“The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.“Football has been my life since I was six but my family comes before anything on this planet. At the moment, they’re hurting enormously.“My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England.”We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake — mistake is probably the wrong word, my choices — that’s what pains me.”The mum-of-two was slammed by a judge for using Kyle as an ‘open-ended cheque book’Credit: SplashIt is understood the footballer wants to protect his childrenCredit: Rex More
