Louis van Gaal: 'Paddy McNair had cramp'

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has revealed that defender Paddy McNair suffered nothing more serious than "cramp" during the weekend's 2-1 defeat away at Bournemouth.

The Northern Ireland international was replaced by Phil Jones in stoppage time at Dean Court with what looked to be a muscular injury.

However, when asked for an update on the 20-year-old's fitness, Van Gaal did not expect him to be sidelined for any length of time.

"McNair had cramp, he hasn't played much this season - nothing serious," the United boss told reporters.

The centre-back has made eight appearances for club and country this season.
