WOODY NOT WELL!

Woodgate, who has only started 12 of United's 43 games this season because of a stomach problem, was back in action against Spurs on Sunday for his first Premiership start since February 7 - but is still not well!

He told the Chronicle: "I've still got this problem with my stomach and I am feeling it every game.

"In fact, I am struggling to get through games because of my stomach and I am never going to be 100% when I play.

"But I've just got to get through it."
