Manchester United's festive campaign became even more difficult after Phil Jones and Ashley Young picked up injuries against Fulham.
The England internationals both came off to add to Sir Alex Ferguson's mounting injury problems as his side demolished the Cottagers 5-0 in west London.
Jones damaged his jaw in a clash with Clint Dempsey and was replaced by Young, who then picked up an unspecified injury in a 50-50 challenge with Dickson Etuhu.
"The tackle on Ashley Young was a very aggressive tackle and I will have to see that again," Ferguson told MUTV. "Fulham were very aggressive in the second half and Ashley Young has paid the price for that.
"He has got a sore one so will be out for two to three weeks. On Phil Jones it was an elbow from Dempsey, but I don't think it was intentional. But he caught him with an elbow.
"We are sending him for an X-ray tomorrow (Thursday) and it doesn't look great. We are picking up injuries at the moment."

No one else in the Premiership has had or has presently, injuries over the course of a third of a season, but apparently Fergal and Man. U-re are special you see , they have to ask the Media for special consideration when you mention his club.
We are supposed to applaud their successes and moan/whinge when things go against them , 'poor little blithers , suffering such agonising injuries in a physical game ' ......teams should be ashamed of even touching or tackling or pushing or barging or body-checking them , you mustn't do that , Fergal said to his ' angels in tutu's ' , how will they spend their Christmas bonuses if not on a hospital bed or rehab. unit / on crutches or a wheelchair.
You must wonder how quick , their supposedly injured players recover in record time , in a oxygen chamber , or at L.A's famous injury clinics or Mystic Meg of the Balkans , they can afford it , Fergal is another ' Mystic Guru ' just like he was with Beckham , and the' mysterious Tea-cup/head/eye stitches that appeared in the SUN/NEWS OF THE WORLD........and the apparent Fergal saga with the British Press
WHY SHOUD WE FEEL SORRY FOR UNITED WITH THAT ABNOXIOUS PRAT LEADING THEM AND ASKING US TO FEEL SYMPATHY AND PITY WHEN HIS MORONS DO BEASTLY THINGS IN THE SPORT WE LOVE , THE WAY IT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ESCALATE AND BE PRESENTED AS
AN ENGLISHMAN'S RIGHT TO A FAIR GAME .
WHAT FAIR GAME IS FERGIE ASKING FOR WHEN HIS SHREKS USE AND ABUSE THE SOCCER GAME...
ROONEY IS AN EXAMPLE , FERDINAND IS ANOTHER , GIGGS IS ANOTHER , HERNANDEZ IS ANOTHER FALLER , NANI IS RIGHT BEHIND 'THE TOUCH ME MAN ' , VALENCIA IS A FAIRY GODMOTHER , WELBECK IS ALWAYS ' WAY FORWARD ' OF THE BALL , BERBATOV 'SCRATCHES YOUR EYES OUT WHEN YOU COME ANYWHERE WITHIN ARMS LENGTH' , EVRA CALLS EVERYMAN WHITIE OR IMMIGRANT , ANDERSON HE VOUS NOTHY BOY BRUSHING ME , AND THERE IS MORE ......
