Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Eric Bailly will undergo ‘routine checks’ at hospital after suffering a nasty-looking head injury against Chelsea on Sunday.
The 26-year-old clashed heads with teammate Harry Maguire which forced a lengthy stoppage just before half-time in United’s 3-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat at Wembley.
Maguire was patched up with a bandage, while Bailly walked off the pitch, but then required a stretcher.
He was replaced by Anthony Martial in the 47th minute as he was applauded by both sets of players.
It was Bailly’s second head knock in quick succession after he collided with Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma.
Solskjaer said: “I hope he’ll be fine. I haven’t seen him after the game. He had a cut in the back of his head, so I’ll go and see the doc afterwards.
“He has gone to hospital to go through all the routine checks.”
To make matters worse for United, Olivier Giroud then gave Chelsea a deserved lead as the first-half eventually finished in the 58th minute.
Mason Mount doubled United’s advantage a minute into the second-half when David de Gea was unable to keep out his tame long-range effort.
The Red Devils’ fate was then sealed as Harry Maguire turned a Marcos Alonso cross into his own net with 16 minutes remaining.
Bruno Fernandes pulled one back for United from the penalty spot late on after Martial was tripped by Callum Hudson-Odoi.
