Manchester United's 18-year-old centre-back Edin Haven suffered a suspected serious injury in the 3-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League and needed to be stretchered off the pitch, but after the game he appeared to be in less serious condition than he thought would have been able to walk on his own without even using crutches.

Manchester United spent £1.5 million to sign Haven from Arsenal in January and he has been consistent in recent games. It was England's first Premier League start, but he was not frightened, keeping out a couple of Leicester shots in the first half. While injured, Haven also intercepted a threatening cross from veteran Vardy.

However, he was tackled by Foxes striker Patterson Daka when he was out of position and immediately waved to the team doctor on the sidelines after falling off the field. He was treated by a combination of Manchester United and Leicester City team doctors for five minutes, with his right foot bandaged before being stretchered into the dressing room.

Sky Sports, which was in charge of broadcasting the game live, did not broadcast the unexpected slow footage, and judging by this decision, many people are worried that Haven's problem is serious and that this season may be reimbursed. However, Haven was not taken to the hospital after the game, and he walked out of King Power Stadium on his own after the game and boarded the team bus. Not only that, but the United youngster did not use crutches, but only wore a protective boot on his right foot.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has revealed that Haven was even too scared to speak while he was being treated on the pitch, with several of his team-mates comforting him. "We'll see again this week," Amorim said, "because he doesn't speak when he's lying on the ground, and he doesn't know how to explain his feelings because he's so young." So, it was hard for the team doctor to understand his feelings. He calmed down a bit after that, but the team doctor needed another detailed examination this week. He's doing well and it's a shame if he's been injured for a long time. We wish him all the best."

Haven has only played four games for Manchester United, but Amorim thinks he has a lot of potential. 'He's shown hope against Arsenal, today and against Real Sociedad.' "In my opinion, today was the most difficult game for him and we always wanted these young kids to relax a little bit. He's very focused and he's playing really well, so let's expect the best from him."

However, the newly joined Haven has not escaped the curse of Manchester United's centre-back injury, and all the team's centre-backs have been injured this season. Among them, four centre-backs were injured in the game at Leicester City, Lisandro Martinez has been out of action for the season with a serious knee injury, Evans has also been sidelined for a long time with a lower back injury, and Harry Maguire and Lenny Yoro have also retired injured in recent games.

Victor Lindelof, who started the game, is a player who has just returned from injury, while Dutch international De Ligt is already the 'fittest' centre-back in the team, having missed a game in December due to injury. It's easy to see why Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Amorim has applied to owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe for a new centre-back this summer.

In fact, it's not just the centre-backs, United's defensive players are suffering frequent injuries, Luke Shaw hasn't started for more than a year, loanee Terrell Malacia has also missed a season and a half, and Mazraoui has had a heart problem that required surgery. The only exception is right-back Diogo Dalow, who is more "ironman" than captain Bruno Fernandes and has never suffered injury problems.

The international break is a good time for United as it gives the first-team players time to rest and recover, but Amorim is also hopeful that the international players in his squad will return injury-free in half a month's time.
