Ashley Young could be out for "two or three weeks" after picking up a suspected knee injury during Manchester United's 5-0 win at Fulham.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Ashley Young will be sidelined for "two or three weeks" after being forced off with an injury during his side's 5-0 win at Fulham.

Young came off at Craven Cottage with what looked like a knee injury after a challenge from Dickson Etuhu.

Phil Jones could also be sidelined over the Christmas period after he picked up a jaw injury, while the Scot claimed that Rio Ferdinand will return in two weeks.

"We've got a couple of injuries. Phil Jones got an elbow to the jaw and we'll send him for an X-ray tomorrow. It doesn't look good," Ferguson told BBC Sport.

"Rio will be back for the Blackburn game on New Year's Eve. Phil is a concern and Ashley is out for two or three weeks."

The Red Devils next host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league on Boxing Day.
