Manchester United face big defensive crises in their next Premier League games

Manchester United went down 2-1 at Wolves as they surrendered an early lead, their third defeat in four matches. The loss hit the club’s top four hopes with Arsenal and Chelsea both refusing to give up on the race for Champions League football. But what is more awful, Solskjaer now has defensive problems. Luke Shaw will now miss the next two Premier League fixtures. Shaw picked up his tenth booking of the season on Tuesday night and now must face the consequences. They must also do without Ashley Young after he was sent off by referee Mike Dean. On that case Solskjaer said: “When you’re on a yellow you’re always in danger of it being a yellow card again. “Probably it was a bad decision by Ashley but in the heat of the moment he reached for the ball and was a little bit too high, it made it more difficult. “We didn’t get the pressure built that we expected so we kept possession well but then they scored with the first chance they put the ball in the box.”
