Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been handed an injury headache ahead of their Champions League date with AC Milan.

Ryan Giggs injured himself in a clash with Steve Sidwell during the second half of United's 1-1 draw at Villa Park and immediately clutched his arm.

The veteran Welshman was replaced by Dimitar Berbatov and left the stadium with his right arm in a sling, with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirming the hospital appointment.

"We have sent Ryan for an X-ray to see if there is any damage," said Ferguson.

"It is very painful but hopefully he is going to be all right."
