The first day of the new English Premier League season brings with it a swathe of hope for players.
Some are hoping to get their hands on a trophy, others are hoping to survive relegation and others are looking to put themselves in the shop window for a late transfer.
Getting an injury in the opening game is a bit disappointing.
Suffering an injury that puts you out of the season is a disaster.
And one player linked with Manchester United has surely seen that chance wiped away as he’s suffered a season ending injury today.

Nottingham Forest played Bournemouth at the City Ground today hoping to get three points in early.
To do that, they included Brazil midfielder Danilo.
Earlier this week, TNT Brasil reported that Manchester United made an enquiry for his availability.
United have been looking to reinforce their midfield – an area that was stretched last season due to injury and loss of form for a number of players.
Danilo had impressed in his first season in the English Premier League and had clearly caught the attention of the MUFC hierarchy.
However, he’s now not going to be moving to Old Trafford any time soon.
Inside the first 10 minutes of Forest’s game, Danilo suffered a horror injury that looks to have ended his season.
The midfielder fell after being in a tackle with Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo in the seventh minute.
Danilo’s teammates called the medical staff on and the game was delayed for ten minutes, before Danilo was stretchered off the pitch with a splint in his left leg.
Reporters on the ground called it a really nasty clash and it would be a surprise to see Danilo back on the pitch again this season.
If United do want to bring in another midfielder in this window, it certainly won’t be the Brazilian.
We wish the best of luck to Danilo in his recovery.
