Ole's injury update on United defensive duo

Our 4-1 Champions League win against Istanbul Basaksehir at Old Trafford came at a price, as Victor Lindelof, who has been struggling with back issues recently, didn’t come out for the second half against the Turks and was replaced by Axel Tuanzebe.

Right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka lasted until the 58th minute of the win and then made way for Brandon Williams, as a precautionary measure, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed after the match.

United already have Luke Shaw and Phil Jones out injured while Eric Bailly has not featured for the Reds since the beginning of October.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Teden Mengi were unused substitutes against Basaksehir, while Williams entered the fray for his first appearance since late September and Alex Telles made it through his second consecutive 90 minutes for Solskjaer's side.
