Man Utd defender Borthwick-Jackson okay after Scunthorpe head injury

Manchester United defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson says he's okay after suffering concussion in Scunthorpe's 3-2 win against AFC Wimbledon in League One.

The stopper is on-loan at Scunthorpe this season.

He told iFollowIron: “I feel fine. It was a bit of a weird one. I remember the free-kick coming in beforehand but after that I don't have a clue what has gone on. I'll have to watch the clip back, but hopefully I'll be okay.

“I remember the ball coming into the box and there being a block on me. I've had to get to the header because there was a guy behind me. I knew I was going to get clattered, but that's what you have to do in football.

“It's the first time I've been knocked out. I think it was the actual impact from the other player. Apparently I was out cold in mid-air. Fortunately, I landed the way I did. It could've been a lot worse."
