NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI has undergone a procedure after experiencing heart palpitations.
Mazraoui withdrew from the Morocco squad after being replaced by Victor Lindelof at half-time against Aston Villa.
GettyIt has since emerged that the right-back – signed this summer from Bayern Munich – has been experiencing palpitations.
And he has had successful surgery but is expected to be ruled out of action for some weeks.
Team-mate Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch during the Euros in 2021.
The Danish international was fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator device after being rushed to hospital.
Less than one year later, Eriksen made his return to football with Brentford before signing for United in the summer of 2022.
Meanwhile Mazraoui joined Matthijs de Ligt in a double transfer this summer.
He has made ten appearances this season in replace of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who left for West Ham.
But Mazraoui was taken off at the break against Villa in the game that ended 0-0.
And Garnacho then followed with the Argentina winger feeling the effects of 90 minutes against Unai Emery’s side.
He joined Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho in pulling out of international duty.
Mainoo had already ruled himself out of the England squad due to a fitness issue after he was replaced by Casemiro at Villa Park.
The away point leaves United in 14th and manager Erik ten Hag still under huge pressure.
But he survived the sack after SEVEN HOURS worth of showdown talks in London with Red Devils co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe – who was joined by Sir Dave Brailsford and sporting director Dan Ashworth – arrived at around 9:30am and left at 4:45pm.
It comes after United fell to their worst ever return from the opening seven Premier League games, picking up just eight points.
Without a win in five matches in all competitions, Ten Hag remains under-fire but not yet fired.
