Smalling hands Man Utd more injury woe

Manchester United suffered another injury setback during victory at Southampton.

Jonny Evans was the man pressed into early action when Chris Smalling had to go off injured in the 18th minute and he explained that he knew he had to be ready, especially given United's recent injury woes.

"Yeah I think you're always expecting maybe someone to get injured so I tried to prepare myself mentally but the first 10 minutes were hard, but you expect that in the premier league.

"Especially away games," Evans said.
