LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and defender Marcos Rojo are likely to miss the rest of the season after scans revealed they have both suffered cruciate knee ligament injuries. Rojo left the field on a stretcher in the first half of United's win over Anderlecht in the Europa League on Thursday while Ibrahimovic sustained damage to his right knee late in the same game. "Detailed investigations on the injuries sustained by Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic during Thursday's Europa League match have confirmed significant knee ligament damage in both players that requires specialist opinions over the coming days," United said in a statement on their website. The 35-year-old Ibrahimovic is United's top scorer this season with 28 goals in all competitions while Rojo has established himself at the heart of the defence. United play Spanish side Celta Vigo in the Europa League semi-finals next month and are fifth in the Premier League ahead of their next game at Burnley on Sunday.
