Well done Woy, leaving your oldest player on for 90 mins in a pointless friendly.

some with balls at the club should tell him to quit if he wants a new contract. He's almost 35 ffs.

Get well soon. He shouldn't be playing internationals at his age if he wanted to prolong his club career needless to say pointless friendlies.

So that's now Shaw, Valencia and Carrick with long term injuries. You would like to think Roy would use his brain with Carrick and Smalling. What are you going to learn from these players in a friendly? Nothing. Give others a chance and give these players a rest. Stupid

If it is ligament damage and requires surgery you'd have to think he might struggle to return to full form after his recovery with him being 34

If Fergie was still manager, no way he will still be playing for England. Might not be ethical but club have to give him an ultimatum. This injury might end his time here.

Moronic blaming Roy for him getting injured.
Equally moronic for Roy playing him.
Beggars belief the logic behind even selecting him for the squad.

So fecking annoying. Right at the end as well. For him to be stretchered off can't be good signs either. Probably be out for at least 6-8 weeks, especially if its ligament damage.

Pretty frustrating, but thats football. Blame whoever you want, but it is just sad and we have to kind of hope for the best.

Thank f*ck we also added Schneiderlin to Schweini's arrival. I guess there's no excuse from putting Herrera constantly on the bench now. Perhaps another brave promotion from the academy or just full muppet in January ?

England pay the manager a fortune, Roy Hodgson is under qualified for the job, he only has it because of his nationality. I have little respect for the FA or him, surely you should choose the best candidate for the job as opposed to looking at their nationality!

And then the guy can't even get out of his group at the world cup. He doesn't even play Carrick that much so he can't be that valuable to the set up, ultimately though it's Carrick's fault because he isn't valued by England and should have left long ago.

Schneiderlin alongside Schweinsteiger is fine and I'm sure Herrera will get another chance there now and might impress.

I fell asleep during the game but my Dad said he got injured, didn't realize it was this serious though. Bad injury at his age as well.

What a surprise. Carrick and injured in same sentence.
Kind of screws us up a lot knowing the BFS can not play a full 90 minutes. We really need to keep Schweinsteiger fit and Herrera needs to play, no excuse now.

You know it's funny we keep Carrick fresh for later in the year and now he gets injured in a friendly

Carrick's an idiot too. Gets sidelined for every major tournament and yet here he is at 34 playing in meaningless games for the country. Won't be anywhere near the starting 11 in the Euros either.

Bullshit. A good campaign for club and country would have given him every chance of playing in the euros. Hence, obviously, his willingness to play in friendlies.

What the feck is it with people determined to be angry at someone or other for every United player that gets injured? Lashing out like that is really quite childish.

Yeah, just like previous campaigns where his good form has resulted in him starting games in major tournaments. He's been ignored even when he was our main CM and the undoubted best English CM. Not to mention he'll be 35 when the Euros come around and is no longer a 90mins player for us.

Btw, there was hardly any anger or 'lashing out' in the post you quoted, you'd know why you made it out to be something it isn't.

Ok Neville ended his career with a similar injury. Carrick should have thought of United before England. England can feck right off, this is the end of his United career . Woy is a genius.

Ankle ligament tears rarely require surgery. If it's a severe one (him being stretched off suggests it is) he probably won't return this year though.

I'm currently recovering from a ligament injury and just started running (barely), after 6 weeks. His might be different though, obviously.

What the feck is wrong with you guys? How on earth is this Hodgson's fault? He has a tournament to prepare for, he is entitled to try to build and mound a team with whatever players he likes. If he plays U20s every game and then switches at the tournament, the same people will be quick to criticise him. Carrick getting injured is unfortunate, Roy playing one of his footballers in a football match is logical.

Carrick doesn't play 90 minutes for United that often in competitive matches! Yet in a friendly against Spain who dominated the ball Carrick gets injured in the 91st minute.

It will be interesting to see Louis van Gaal's opinion on this, Hodgson has a responsibility to act sensibly.

And playing him a week before the next United match is sensible. He most likely would have been rested for the France match had it went ahead and he was fit.

Hodgson also has a limited amount of games left to figure out his best team before a major tournament.
