Manchester United continued to be hit by injury crisis. After the match against Southampton, they lose yet another player to injury. Thus, the Red Devils will not have the service of 10 players in the final match against PSG in the second round of the Champions League.
Over the weekend, United beat Southampton 3-2 to return to the Premier League top 4. However, they paid a heavy price after this match with injury from striker Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean player had problems with knee ligaments and this could see him leaving the Old Trafford at the end of the season.
Alexis Sanchez's injury has pushed Manchester United into a further more injury crisis. Before that, they had lost a number of players like Jesse Lingard, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Phil Jones, Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia. Meanwhile, Anthony Martial is in the process of recovering from injury and is unlikely to play in the next match. On the other hand, Paul Pogba is also absent from PSG because of suspension after receiving a red card in the first leg. Thus, including the case of Paul Pogba, Manchester United will not have the service of 10 players in the match against PSG. That said, most of these are the pillars of the Red Devils under Coach Solskjaer.
The good news for United is that Rashford has returned and played against Southampton over the weekend. Meanwhile, striker Lukaku is in a very good form when he scored 4 goals in the last 2 matches of the Red Devils.
In the context of the crisis of force, coach Solskjaer was forced to patch up the squad in the past time. In addition to using young players like Andreas Pereira, Scott McTominay ... he had to bring up defender Diogo Dalot to play as a forward.
Talking about the situation of Manchester United injury crisis, the Norwegian coach said: "We are forced to step outside and fight. Manchester United still has high mountain to climb and probably hope to conquer. We have strong players and strong beliefs”.
With a 0-2 defeat at Old Trafford at the round of 1/8 Champions League, Manchester United will be forced to win PSG with a difference of 3 goals (or win 2 goals from the score 3-1 and up) in the trip as a guest on the field, if at all they want to qualify for the next round.
