Paul Pogba came off injured just 10 minutes into Manchester United's Premier League clash with rivals Liverpool, and it could be the last time he plays in a Man Utd shirt.
Ralf Rangnick's side were 1-0 down at the time following Luis Diaz's early opener, with Pogba limping around the pitch for much of the early stages.
The injury appeared to be to Pogba's leg, with the French midfielder hobbling off the pitch to be replaced by Jesse Lingard, another star set to leave the club this summer, although there was no major collision on the pitch to cause Pogba's problem.
