In the team - a loss. One of last year's team leaders Paul Scholes will have to miss the rest of the season due to vision problems.
The 31-year-old former English national football player began to complain of deteriorating vision at the end of last year, after a match with . Initial tests suggested that the player would only need a few weeks of rest, but now eye specialists unanimously claim that the Englishman will not be able to play for at least three months.
This is a big loss for the students of Sir Alex Ferguson, who have not started the new season very successfully. Due to injury, another defender Alan Smith could not play recently, so the gaps in the defense had to be filled by the regular defender John O`Shea.
It is not ruled out that "Man Utd" will already be looking for a replacement for P. Scholes, although the club planned to buy new players only in the summer.
