Zlatan injured for one month

[Damien]

Jose confirmed in post-match interview.

 

[Raoul]

Oh man...that's more or less him done then.

 

[el3mel]

Sad. Can't see him returning back to what he was at all tbh.

 

[Livewire1974]

Brought back too early?

 

[spiriticon]

Jose confirmed in post-match interview.

Ok Jose. Let's give up.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Makes no difference to our fortunes tbh. He’s finished.

 

[Skills]

Unlucky for him, was great last season. But he's done here, and won't really be missed.

 

[Pace Abuser]

Who cares. He's done.

 

[AshRK]

Doesnt matter. Better to groom Rashford/Martial. Give a good rest to Lukaku and bring him back fresh.

 

[Judas]

Sad for him, but it makes no difference to us as a team.

 

[2mufc0]

Was done after the knee injury.

 

[Damien]

Who cares. He's done.

Well with Lukaku out for the next few games we don't have any real options there bar Rashford and possibly Martial now.

 

[settembrini]

He better come out with some nonsensical, alpha male, bullshit quote fast so people think it is a good idea to give him a new contract.

 

[horsechoker]

Any out of favour strikers we can take on loan?

 

[All 3 United]

Another awful decision to bring him back. Again nostalgia crap from the club.

 

[bosnian_red]

Not sure if he's actually newly injured or Mourinho realized he's not fit enough or good enough to come back yet. Either way doesn't change much for us as a team since he can't provide anything positive in the state he was in before anyway.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

What a great decision to give him 180 grand a week for this season. Release him in January and bring in two strikers and a winger.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Any out of favour strikers we can take on loan?

Falcao?

 

[Livewire1974]

Well with Lukaku out for the next few games we don't have any real options there bar Rashford and possibly Martial now.

Rashford was born out of an injury crisis, every cloud etc.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Maybe we can ask Rafa for Joselu.

 

[horsechoker]

Falcao?

We really will be regressing back to the Van Gaal era if that happens!

 

[Randall Flagg]

Gonna guess this is the manager being kind to him after seeing what is current fitness and mobility is.

I’d be surprised if there is a real injury

 

[soapythecat]

Blessing in disguise? Need a new forward perhaps?

 

[Di Maria's angel]

We really will be regressing back to the Van Gaal era if that happens!

Maybe get Drogba out of retirement, then? Or Eto'o.

 

[Raw]

Enter James Wilson

 

[AlwaysRed66]

Any out of favour strikers we can take on loan?

There is Sturridge, another ex Chelsea player, but cannot see Klopp letting him come here on loan.

 

[DdeGoat]

So lions do recover like humans after all.

Giving him a contract out of pity was another stupid decision from the club to add to the numerous others in the last 4.5 years.

 

[RedMachine03]

Any out of favour strikers we can take on loan?

James Wilson

 

[Jaybomb]

He’s finished now. Feck.

 

[Backrow Singer]

You'd expect so wouldn't you. If he isn't fit we can't carry him at the minute.

Going to be a tough month I'd imagine.

 

[kouroux]

Should never have him that contract.

 

[Acole9]

He's finished.

 

[Treble]

The idea that a 36 y.o. coming after a horrific injury can help United compete for the title is bordering on stupidity.

 

[Lennon7]

Well with Lukaku out for the next few games we don't have any real options there bar Rashford and possibly Martial now.

I’m hoping we’ll buy an out and out striker.

 

[Hed Zitin]

Old Yella behind the wood shed. Boom.

 

[Amadaeus]

Solanke has looked good for Liverpool. He was available last summer and United should have gone for him as back up to lukaku. I believe Rashford and Martial needs to step up now and provide a dynamic front line for us while both Zlatan and Lukaku are out. Bring up one of our strikers from the academy or from loan to warm the bench if they are good enough.

 

[Devil may care]

I like Ibra, big charismatic guy, larger than life, but all this posturing was always a bit far fetched for a player his age with such a serious injury, he looks pretty much done at this level, should head to the MLS as soon as possible.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Yeah, he's done. I am glad he got to play for us at least. I wish we got him sooner.

 

[Antisocial]

Sad news for both him and us.

 

[Luke1995]

To say that he's done is ridiculous. C.Ronaldo had a very serious injury at the euro last year and came back well. Zlatan is arguably as fit as Ronaldo, no reason he can't come back for good. Not like Zlatan had any pace to lose, really. Give him until the end of March to judge, still a lot of games to be played in the season.
