Bolton Wanderers Vs. Manchester United: Tom Cleverley Injury Update; Chicharito Makes It 4-0

Tom Cleverley was forced off the pitch ten minutes into Manchester United's match against Bolton Wanderers following a nasty challenge by Trotters striker Kevin Davies in the very early going. Michael Carrick replaced him, but nobody was really sure how serious the injury was. Now we're seeing Cleverly in the stands with a huge protective boot around his right foot, accompanied by a pair of crutches, so... well, it doesn't look particularly great for the midfielder, who's been incredibly influential over the season so far. Hopefully he can get back to playing very soon.

Meanwhile, United have their fourth goal and Javier Hernandez has his second - a Nani run into the box ended up with a little bit of pinball, and when the ball broke to Chicharito in space there was no doubt that he was going to beat Jussi Jaaskelainen. Beat him he did, so that's 4-0. Yikes. Seconds later, Nigel Reo-Coker rattles David de Gea's crossbar, which is miles better than anything the hosts have done so far. Good on them.
