Breaking news: Manchester United linked player injured ,number one man Ten hag wants to buy for his defence ,bad news for ten hag .

 The highly-rated full-back was forced

 from the field during the Saints’ Premier 

League outing at the Amex Stadium

Tino Livramento has earned plenty 

of plaudits since joining Southampton in 

the summer of 2021, with links to Manchester

 United being made alongside talk of Chelsea

 triggering a buy-back clause, but the 

talented defender is facing up to a lengthy

 spell on the sidelines after suffering 

a “very serious” injury.

The 19-year-old full-back required oxygen

 on the field before being stretchered 

off during the first half of a Premier League

 outing against Brighton at the Amex 

Stadium.

Livramento lasted just 36 minutes 

of a 2-2 draw before his seeing afternoon, 

and potentially his season, cut short and 

any speculation regarding a summer 

transfer has been put on hold for now 

as a full assessment of the talented

 teenager is made.

How long will Livramento be 

out of action for?

The Saints are unable to put a timescale 

on Livramento’s recovery for now as 

further medical checks need to be carried

 out, but Ralph Hasenhuttl told reporters 

when asked for a post-match update on 

the youngster’s condition: “It is his knee

. Very frustrated and you could see it 

was a serious injury. We don't know 

the diagnosis, but it is very serious.

“He is very down, but we all know he 

will come back even stronger.

“Absolutely, he was very frustrated 

and he could feel that this was a more 

serious injury so for next weekend he 

is out. We will get round him and I 

am sure he will be back strong.”

Why have Man Utd been linked 

with Livramento?

Southampton parted with just £5 million (

$6m) when luring Livramento away from

 Chelsea, with his potential being noted 

by those at St Mary’s.

He has taken in 32 appearances for 

the Saints this season, while also opening

 his senior goal account, and has attracted

 plenty of admiring glances from afar.

A retracing of steps to Stamford Bridge 

has been mooted for a man that graduated

 out of a famed academy system in west 

London, but Chelsea can only take up a 

£25m ($32m) buy-back option from 2023.

That is allowing others to mull over the

 merits of making a move in upcoming 

windows, with Manchester United said 

to be in the market for an upgrade 

at right-back on Aaron Wan-Bissaka 

and Diogo Dalot.

Livramento has shown that he could 

be a shrewd investment for the present

 and future, with there plenty of potential

 still to be unlocked in his game, but 

for now his focus is locked on returning

 to full fitness.
