11 December 2015 - 13:03

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that club will be without the services of Matteo Darmian and Chris Smalling for Saturday's league trip to Bournemouth.

  • Chelsea want to pay only £25m for Alejandro Garnacho
  • Marseille table bid for Chelsea defender

  • The Red Devils find themselves in a major defensive crisis having lost a number of players through injury in recent weeks.

    Van Gaal has now confirmed that the club have suffered a further dent with two more of his backline set to spend time on the sidelines.

    Darmian pulled his hamstring in the first half of United's 3-2 Champions League defeat at Wolfsburg whilst Smalling hobbled through with a groin problem in the same game.

    United currently have Antonio Valencia, Luke Shaw, and Marcos Rojo injured on a long-term basis.
