The absence of key players in defence has had a negative impact on Manchester United’s season, manager Erik ten Hag said as he continues to cope with an injury crisis at the Premier League club with six defenders unavailable.
Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans are the latest names on the long list of injuries at United as the duo joined fellow centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof and left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia on the sidelines.
United, sixth in the league with 49 points, visit Bournemouth on Saturday. United are 11 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with seven games remaining.
“It’s very difficult,” Ten Hag told reporters on Friday.
