Patrick Dorgu, who was injured after scoring Manchester United’s second goal in last weekend’s 3-2 Premier League win at Arsenal, may be sidelined for a few weeks or more, United manager Michael Carrick said on Friday.
According to media reports, the 21-year-old suffered a hamstring injury that forced him off the pitch in the 81st minute, half an hour after his left-footed volley put the visitors 2-1 ahead.
Denmark international Dorgu, who joined United in the summer, also scored in the win over Manchester City earlier this month.

«Pat will be away for a while. We’re still thinking about how long that will be,» Carrick told reporters.
«He’s had such a good few weeks and we weren’t sure if it was cramp or something more serious, but it looks more serious. Whether it’s a few weeks or longer, we’ll have to wait and see. Unfortunately, it’s something you have to work through in football.»
Fourth-placed United face Fulham on Sunday, who look to win their third game in a row since Carrick took over.
