But United's stand-in reserve team coach Richard Money does not want to jump the gun, and says fears that the promising England under-17 striker faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines are premature.

Donaldson went over on his ankle after a challenge from Wigan player Andrew Pearson and the Geordie youngster was carried off and left the ground on crutches.

Thankfully it is understood that he did not suffer a fracture to his ankle.

Money: "We will have another look at it today.

"He's gone over on his ankle, and it didn't look very good at the time, but fingers crossed it's not as bad as we thought."
