 The absence of O'Shea and Evans has only added to United's injury crisis
|
Manchester United's defensive crisis has deepened with the news John O'Shea and Jonny Evans have been ruled out of action through injury until January.
The pair were both hoping to return to action this weekend following thigh and calf injuries respectively.
But the club have confirmed they will not be fit until the new year, ruling them out of five Premier League matches and Tuesday's Champions League game.
United have a total of eight defenders in the treatment room at present.
Nemanja Vidic (flu), Rio Ferdinand (calf), Wes Brown (hamstring), Gary Neville (groin), Rafael (shoulder) and Fabio da Silva (groin) are also injured at present.

In addition, midfielder Owen Hargreaves and keeper Edwin van der Sar are undergoing treatment for knee injuries.
And with Wayne Rooney (hamstring) and Dimitar Berbatov (knee) having joined them on the sidelines for the immediate future with minor knocks, Sir Alex Ferguson's squad is stretched to near breaking point.
It means that Ferguson could employ a makeshift centre-half pairing of midfielders Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher for the trip to Wolfsburg on Tuesday as the Scot waits for his walking wounded to return to fitness.
Ferguson had hoped there would be an improvement in the situation by the weekend but while Vidic should have recovered from flu, the outlook for Brown, who has a hamstring injury, is not as positive.
"We are hoping to have Wes fit but hamstring injuries are difficult. It is not an easy one," said the Scot.
