O'Shea and Neville out for weeks

Manchester United's defensive duo of Gary Neville and John O'Shea would be out for weeks, Sir Alex has confirmed.

Both the players limped out of their game against Portsmouth on Wednesday night where they won 2-0.

Neville was forced with a foot injury and his replacement O'Shea went out with an ankle injury.

Victory sees Manchester United move three points clear of the second placed Liverpool as Chelsea drew with Everton.

Sir Alex obviously isn't happy and had this to say :

"They are out for weeks - they were both bad tackles,"

Manchester United would require all their defensive armour with their remaining campaign of Premiership and Champions league clash with Arsenal.
