Nose job...

Good thing O'shea's irish luck held out in last gasp of corners and goal shots

Van der Sar suffers broken nose

Van der Sar was hurt in a clash with Robbie Keane. Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar could face a spell on the sidelines after breaking his nose in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Tottenham. The 36-year-old Dutch keeper was forced off after a late clash with Spurs striker Robbie Keane.

United's assistant boss Carlos Queiroz said: "He needs a scan. We must wait and see what kind of fracture he has."

It was later announced Van der Sar had pulled out of Holland's squad for the friendly against Russia on Wednesday.

Defender John O'Shea replaced Van der Sar in goal in the closing minutes.

"There was a lot of blood coming out so Edwin had to come off," United boss Sir Alex Ferguson added.

"We have got a new nickname for John now - 'The Cat'."

United, who had already secured the points by the time Van der Sar was injured, were forced to turn to O'Shea as they had used all three of their substitutes.

The Republic of Ireland defender was called into action before the end when he came out to deny Keane on the edge of the area.
