STILL OF MANCHESTER UNITED FANS IN SANTA HATS LOOKING DEJECTED STORY: Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim was left cursing his side's misfortune after a 2-1 Premier League defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday (December 21) was compounded by the loss of his captain Bruno Fernandes to what looked like a hamstring injury. Morgan Rogers scored two excellent goals for Villa, but the United boss was forced to re-shuffle his midfield after Fernandes was forced off at halftime. The 40-year-old coach said Fernandes seemed to have suffered a soft-tissue injury and that there was no prognosis as to when he might return. Shea Lacey and Jack Fletcher, son of former United player Darren, were given their debuts with Kobbie Mainoo missing from the matchday squad. (Production: Conal Quinn, David Klein, Paul Childs)
