Lindelof the only fit centre-back: United defensive injury crisis laid bare

Man United return to Premier League action on Saturday against Norwich at Old Trafford and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is facing a massive headache.

As things stand right now, inconsistent Victor Lindelof remains the only fit centre-back available for selection at the club.

United's defensive crisis

• Harry Maguire: recently suffered a torn hip muscle
• Phil Jones: recovering from a cramp
• Marcos Rojo: continues to be linked with a move away from the club
• Axel Tuanzebe: hip issues have plagued his season
• Eric Bailly: nowhere near full fitness after a 6-month injury lay-off

The Red Devils have been linked with several player this month but signing a centre-back was never a priority for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
