revealed a much more serious problem, leaving interim manager Michael Carrick facing a major selection dilemma at a crucial time in the season.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old has been in impressive form and has become one of United&#8217;s most exciting players under Carrick.<\/p>\n<p>Dorg&#8217;s performances in recent weeks have been nothing short of exceptional, highlighted by his crucial

the best goals of his young career and a potential Goal of the Season candidate.<\/p>\n<p>But his impressive progress has now been interrupted by an injury sustained during United&#8217;s dramatic 3-2 win over Arsenal at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>The game was a huge boost for Carrick&#8217;s rejuvenated team, but it came at a heavy price.<\/p>\n<p>Dolgu showed signs of not feeling well towards the end of the game, and although there was initial optimism, tests revealed a more serious hamstring tear and he would be sidelined for about two and a half months.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
