Man Utd suffer major double injury blow ahead of Crystal Palace and Chelsea clashes

Manchester United suffered a double injury blow in the 2-2 draw with Southampton in the Premier League with Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams both forced off at Old Trafford. The Red Devils conceded a late equaliser which leaves them fifth in the table.

Shaw was forced off in the 75th minute as he rolled his right ankle and was seen limping off the pitch and back to the dressing room.

Williams was involved in a head clash with Kyle Walker-Peters which left blood pouring from his head.

The youngster could take no further part and is unlikely to return fast this week.

It means United may have no recognised left-back fit for the Premier League match with Crystal Palace on Thursday or the FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea on Sunday.

In the match Martial scored his 50th Premier League goal for the club but Matt Le Tissier thinks United sat back when they were 2-1 up.

He said on Sky Sports: “I thought Man Utd sat back a little bit.

“You have to give Southampton credit but Man Utd teams of the past would have been at you, trying to get a third and fourth.”

Next up for United is a match with Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
