Striker Michael Owen, who suffered a thigh injury, dropped out of the lineup at least until Christmas.
The 31-year-old Englishman, who rarely appears in the starting lineup, got injured in a Champions League match against Galati "Otelul" at the beginning of November. Owen, who played from the start, had to be replaced in the 10th minute.
"Michael will not be able to play for about six weeks due to the injury," - said the statement from "Man Utd". It is added that his return can be expected in the match against "Wigan" on the second day of Christmas.
In 52 matches for "Man Utd", Owen scored 17 goals. In the summer, he will become a free agent.
