Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed the absence of two key defenders in Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling for this weekend’s game against Tottenham
The Red Devils are in desperate need of a victory this weekend after just two wins in their last ten Premier League matches, and a run of three draws in a row.Tottenham have some potent attacking players in Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen, but it looks like United will have to take them on without Shaw and Smalling, who have not been deemed fit enough to return for this one.
‘Not Sunday, no,’ Mourinho said when asked if the pair could make this Sunday’s game at Old Trafford.Smalling has been out of action since United’s 4-0 defeat at Chelsea in October, while Shaw has been in and out of Mourinho’s starting XI for much of the season so far.
