Evra lauds Man Utd character in coping with injury backlog

Manchester United skipper Patrice Evra is impressed with how the current champions have coped with a succession of injuries this season. Despite a succession of injuries to key players United sit just two points behind leaders Manchester City.

"It's amazing how many injuries we've had," Evra told MUTV. "I see many teams complaining about the injuries they have but, for us, it has been amazing.

"To lose a player like Nemanja Vidic for the season yet we've coped with that.

"I think to get so close to Manchester City, given the injuries we have had, shows we have really good spirit in the team. That's the most important thing and that's the culture of the club.

"No matter what happens, we don't like to have excuses. I just say 'well done' to every player but the job is not finished. The most important part is still to come."
