David De Gea Set For Scan On Knee Injury After Win Over Southampton
David de Gea will go in for a scan on his knee today (Monday) ahead of Manchester United’s Champions League meeting with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spanish goalkeeper was forced off at half-time during United’s 3-2 win at Southampton on Sunday after colliding with the post trying in vain to keep out James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick.
Dean Henderson, who replaced De Gea, may start the important Champions League clash at Old Trafford if the Spaniard is sidelined.
Red Devils’ manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: ”[David has] a knock just above the knee, so hopefully he’ll be okay for Wednesday, but we don’t know.
”Let’s have a little scan or check tomorrow [Monday], but Dean came on and looked very assured.”
The Red Devils top Champions League Group H and will advance to the knockout stages if they avoid defeat against PSG.

They will secure top spot in the group if they win on Wednesday and RB Leipzig fail to win against Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey, or if United draw and Leipzig lose.
