If its a strain, its a matter of few weeks to a couple of months, if its an achilles rupture, he's out for the season. Blows for him and for us.
ten Hag presser v S'hampton 1:30pm bst
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Ten hag said hopefully fit the next game which is midweek, so hopefully nothing. My guess is he'll be saved til Arsenal on the weekend.
Where’s the quotes? Is the Martial injury the only news we’re getting?
Eh nah he's constantly injured or half arsed on the pitch. I've no sympathy for him anymore. Love to think he could stay fit and be great for us, but its more fan fiction than anything.
Sounds like a niggle and they're being cautious rather than an actual injury then.
Oh man, that’s a bummer about Martial.
Not sure if spending 90m on a wide player is more needed than another no.9.
Anyone around who is available with similar qualities to Martial?
Feck it, start the big man up top against Soton.

Memphis Depay is the best fit available right now
i just texted my mate (who is also a United fan btw) the news about Martial's injury.
His response was 'Probably injured after running for the first time in his life'.
I mean I couldn't help but laugh. Absolutely savage.
Ten Hag on team news
Ten Hag on the spirit
Ten Hag on Casemiro and Martial
Ten Hag on Jones, Tunazebe and Williams
Ten Hag on United's style
Ten Hag on Southampton
Ten Hag on transfer window
Well at least he pretty much confirmed we'll be back to possession football.
Yup. He'd be a very good signing all around IMO. Helps that he's been here and knows many in the squad, but he's developed into a decent link up/hold up striker and is a decent worker defensively. And will come cheap. Need someone in desperately to rotate with Martial.
Depay, good grief.
Tuanzebe, Williams and Jones are injured? What is wrong wirh them? I missed news about those injuries
That's what he said about the hamstring. Ended missing three weeks.
Achilles are not easy injuries to get over.
Very annoying Martial is out. I didn't have much faith in him to still be here this season, but to be fair he did well over pre season and went he came on versus Liverpool. Its clear he could be an important player in this system as no one else really has his hold up skills.
Hopefully not a long one. We're light up front and I'm worried it will see him sink back into the form that made a lot of us give up on him. If nothing else, how regularly he gets injured is a reason to invest up front.

If he’s available on the cheap he wouldn’t be the worst option to rotate with Martial who clearly can’t be relied upon to stay fit for any length of time. Not ideal but desperate times and all that.
Martial, why bro? 
We need him to stay fit this season. Our options are severely limited. He's also the only forward we have that can hold the ball up.

They aren't injured. ETH is saying that he thinks they won't leave the club this window.
You can't turn your nose up at every player available unfortunately. He's a good player, he loves the club.
I'd rather take him than Arnautovic.
He said that they are "not available" which means.....injured?Martial, why bro?

Is this a separate injury from the one he had earlier this season or is this the same one that reinjured? I don't remember if the last one was a hamstring or not.
Different. Last one was hamstring
Yes it’s separate, he was out with a hamstring injury before.
Got it. Man needs to see someone to work on his fitness. his injury record the past 2 years has been ridiculous.
Memphis is a good center forward who has excellent link up play, good hold up play, can score goals and at least tries defensively. He's not a good winger. We wouldn't sign him for the wing if he came.
Loving how clinical these press conferences are becoming.
Finally the manager is making sure that the journalists earn their living by asking the right questions. Hopefully he'll make these a non event - unless he wants to pick up a narrative.
The previous managers allowed too many stories to come out of these IMO!

If Ronnie goes, it'd be a good deal, free transfer on a 3 + 1 deal, certainly fits into ETH system and work ethic.
Has to buy some player that EtH ok with. We need bodies as well as qualities. The season is long and with world cup...etc. players will burn out easily and Depay could help in this case. He a good player atleast.
I'm genuinely angry at the Martial news. Jesus Crist we are unlucky. Guess we will have to do with Ronaldo then.
The good news is there's not much absolute scrap left at the club for the first team - Jones and Williams
The bad news is they're injured and we're probably stuck with those for another year.
Layers of scrap to good:
1. Jones and Williams,
2. Shaw and Maguire
3. AWB, Ronaldo and Fred
4. De Gea, McTominay, Elanga, Van De Beek and Martial
5. Dalot, Lindelof, Rashford and Bruno
6. Eriksen, Martinez, Varane, Malacia, Sancho and Greenwood (Controversial...)

Big shame about Tony, hopefully just a knock rather than a strain and he’ll be back quickly. He usually enjoys a game vs Southampton too.
This motherfecker can't stay fit.
He would have said if it was a rupture

He said hopefully fit for the next game - what the hell injury could that be to an Achilles
Isn't this the guy who chased him through the car park and got manhandled by his bodyguard?
Martial news is annoying, but does he mean Jones, Tuanzebe, and Williams are all injured and won’t leave this window?
Did something happen?
Yes. ten Hag hasn't forgotten.
