The extent of United's defensive crisis was clear on Tuesday evening with Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher and Ji-Sung Park forced to play at the back against Wolfsburg.

The press claim that Sir Alex Ferguson is set to launch a shock swoop for free agent Campbell to help ease those problems and give his depleted squad another option at centre-back.

United currently have as many as 9 defenders on the sidelines.

Capped by England on 73 occasions, the 35-year-old sensationally walked out on Notts County after one game. Having signed a five-year deal with the Magpies, Campbell was apparently unhappy with the fourth flight after making his debut in a 2-1 defeat at Morecambe.

The speculation seems unlikely at best.

Campbell is not available to join a new club until January. By that time, many of United's walking wounded will be back in action. The player will also be lacking in match fitness - though he has been training in Arsenal in recent weeks, and is eager to find a new club as soon as possible.

After his actions at Meadow Lane, would you want Campbell at United? Join in the debate on the messageboard.

Her face is familiar, looks like a cross between her from Liberty X and her from the Sugababes.
