Jonny Evans will undergo a scan on his leg after leaving the King Power Stadium on crutches.

The Manchester United defender, 26, picked up the injury just before half-time as he attempted to block a shot from Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa.

Evans will have a scan at some point leaving Manchester United facing a possible crisis when they host West Ham at the weekend; centre-backs Phil Jones (injury) and Tyler Blackett (suspension) are also missing for the match at Old Trafford.

"I do not know how bad it is, we will have to have a scan on Monday," said United manager Louis van Gaal after the shock 5-3 defeat.

Evans was forced to leave the stadium on crutches but the United boss isn't hugely worried for the game on Saturday, adding: "I think Shaw shall be fit enough to play and Rojo and Smalling can play. We can manage."
