The club has been hit by an injury crisis for some time now and many players will not be able to help their team in this weekend's match against Chelsea, which will be one of the most important ones throughout the upcoming season.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wes Brown, Darren Fletcher, Kleberson, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Rio Ferdinand - all of them are in the list of players unable to play.
"With these matches, we will start our battles in the Premier League. The outcome of the match could later have a big impact on the club's position in the tournament table. But I certainly will not let my injured players onto the field in the match against Chelsea. I will have to settle for weaker, but healthier players." - said the team's coach Sir Alex Ferguson at a press conference.
