The injury issues continued as Antony, who came on at half-time as part of Ten Hag's numerous changes, was forced off after just 23 minutes.
The Brazilian tore off his wrist tape in frustration and headed straight down the tunnel with United's physio for treatment.
These latest injuries come on the heels of news that £52 million signing Leny Yoro could be out for up to three months, per Sports Mole.
Rasmus Hojlund is also sidelined for six weeks following injuries sustained in last weekend's pre-season friendly against Arsenal.
Manchester United will end their U.S. tour with a match against Liverpool on Saturday before returning to England to prepare for the Community Shield clash with Manchester City on August 10.
