Manchester United suffered its first defeat of the new Premier League season against Aston Villa. This inflicted a lot of pain to the players and the fans. The club also missed a late penalty that was given to Bruno Fernandes to take. Apart from that the club received some bad news after two senior players got injured.
Luke Shaw who has been very brilliant this season did not even finish the first half. He got injured and it forced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to take him off. His place was taken by Diogo Dalot. This is bad news to the club because he is the first choice left back in the pecking order. He is the one who plays the Premier League and the Champions League matches.
Harry Maguire was also injured and he was substituted. His place was taken by Victor Lindelof. His injury is also bad news to the club because he is not only the first choice centre back but also the captain of the side. He has been able to lead the players very well this season and that is one of the reasons as to why the club has been recording good results. His leadership qualities will surely be missed.
The other bad news is that they have gotten the injuries ahead of the second game of the Champions League. This will be a very tough match without them owing to the fact that the club lost the first match against the Young Boys.
Their injuries will be further assessed in order to determine the period that they will need in order to recover. In the meantime their deputies will take the mantle. It is now upon them to convince the Manager that they deserve to be in the first team. This will be a very good period for them to showcase what they can do.
