Young, who only appeared as an 84th minute substitute during the game, injured his shoulder after landing awkwardly following a controversial collision with Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Immediately after the game, David Moyes branded Howard Webb's decision not to award his side a penalty and send Lloris off following the challenge as 'scandalous.'
Now the United manager has confirmed Young will play no part in his side's FA Cup tie at home to Swansea on Sunday, although he did not specify how long the England international would be unavailable for.
"Ashley has got an injury that is going to keep him out for a time," said Moyes.
"It is a shoulder injury he received in the challenge by the goalkeeper. I am not sure how long it will be."
The unpunished challenge on Young has reignited the debate over widening the use of video technology but Moyes insisted he did not feel the incident merited a rethink on the use of video replays.
"I wouldn't go down the route of video technology," said Moyes. "I trust the referees to make the right decisions.
"They do make the wrong ones at times and I have not changed how I felt on Wednesday. I thought that was the wrong decision."
Meanwhile, the 50-year-old offered no further update on the fitness of Robin van Persie, who has missed United's last six games with a troublesome thigh injury.
"We will let you know when he is ready," he said.
