Ferguson fears for Man United title bid as injuries bite

21 December 2009 / REUTERS, LONDON
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson fears the injury jinx afflicting his defenders could wreck its challenge for a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Fulham put a patched-up United to the sword on Saturday, winning 3-0 at Craven Cottage as the champions struggled to cope without centre backs Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, John O’Shea and Jonny Evans.

United, which has already lost five league games this season, are also without the experienced Wes Brown and Gary Neville which meant midfielder Michael Carrick was again used as a makeshift center half on Saturday.

Young Belgian defender Richie De Laet also made only his sixth appearance at senior level.

“I hope that defeat doesn’t prove too damaging,” Ferguson told the club’s television channel. “In other words I hope it doesn’t cost us the league.” Other Premier League results: Portsmouth 2, Liverpool 0; Aston Villa 1, Stoke 0; Blackburn 0, Tottenham 2; Manchester City 4, Sunderland 3; Arsenal 3, Hull 0.
