Evans’s bone is bruised lot, that’s the injury which will take time. While Smalling could not train yesterday due to stiff legs.
The Dutch manager further added: “We have to see what that means but I don't take risks with players.”
New boss Van Gaal is still struggling at Old Trafford, he has managed to get only a single win in his first five League games. Even knocked out of Capital One Cup.
This injury news will give a blow to United fans as they are well aware of United defensive problems.
Van Gaal answered when he was asked about if this is the toughest job of his career: “Maybe, but we have to see in a year, not in a week when we have nine injuries. This club is in transition, we don’t know in advance when the difficult moments will be.”
