Louis van Gaal is short of fit defenders this weekend
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says youngsters will get their chance in Saturday’s Premier League match at home to West Ham because his team is beset with injuries.
Defenders Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans have all been sidelined while Tyler Blackett is suspended after he was sent off at Leicester last week.
New boy Marcos Rojo is therefore the only senior central defender available to Van Gaal for Saturday's match.
“We have nine injuries and one suspension with Blackett,” said Van Gaal on Thursday. “The younger players can have their chance now.
“All the three right-sided centre-halves are out, I don't know how long they will be out for.
"Evans is a very difficult one. His bone is bruised a lot and we have to wait and see, to evaluate it.
"Smalling yesterday ran out of the training session because he had stiff legs.
"We have to see what that means but I don't take risks with players."
