The Dutchman didn't need a stretcher as he left the field but was not moving freely. 

Blind is due to undergo an MRI scan on Monday. He could be forced out for the rest of the season as a result of the injury.

Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Rafael, Michael Carrick and Jonny Evans are also on the injury list for Manchester United, while boss Louis van Gaal could hand Anders Lindegaard his first start in six months after David de Gea dislocated his finger while training with Spain last week.
