"Detailed investigations on the injuries sustained by Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic during Thursday's Europa League match have confirmed significant knee ligament damage in both players that requires specialist opinions over the coming days", read the United statement on their website.
It has been suggested that the ailment could end not only Ibrahimovic's season but also his time at Old Trafford, with no extension agreed to the 12-month deal he penned in the summer of 2016.
"And Marcos probably at this moment in his career is playing very well for us and also finally getting a position as central defender in the global team, so we're really sad for them". It's really sad for them. "I'm not sad for the team - the impact not to have them can affect the team in terms of results and ambitions, I don't care about it, I just think about them". "But they are important injuries".
Later on Sunday, Ibrahimovic posted a message on Instagram vowing to continue.
"I don't know", he told a news conference, saying Pogba was "dead" following his recent exertions.
Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo have all been sidelined.

"It's not easy to win here, and it's even harder to be in control - and we were in control for 90 minutes", he said. If they're safe-thinking and surrounded by people with the same mentality as they have, they will be more cautious and it would be more time.
He said: "I will rotate players again, give rest to some players again and let's see what we can do".
