White smoke at Carrington.When will we likely know if he's returned to training?

Hope she does well.Cavani and VDB aren't traveling to the game.
Martial is but is a maybe on playing.
Good chance this is Amanda debut.
Greenwood and Rashford definitely starting. Maybe Mata too.
Whoops.Hope she does well.
Yeah unfortunately don't think Amad will start but Id be all for it. If Greenwood is playing up front he'll need someone intelligent to feed him.Dan James will surely start ahead of him, with Rashford and Martial. Any idea why VDB is out?
Muscle injuries apparently. Hopefully it's just Ole making excuses as why they aren't travelling as he also says Mctominay and Martial are doubts too.Dan James will surely start ahead of him, with Rashford and Martial. Any idea why VDB is out?
There would have been no benefit to lying about his age. He didn’t arrive in Italy to play football, he just came to live. Changing 13 to 12 changes nothing for him at that point.Is that supposed to be an accusation of racism? The guy had forged documents that lied about his identity, is it that great of a stretch that is age is also a slight lie?
How do you know why he moved to Italy?There would have been no benefit to lying about his age. He didn’t arrive in Italy to play football, he just came to live. Changing 13 to 12 changes nothing for him at that point.
I said why he didn’t come. I’ve read enough of his story to know that he didn’t come to Italy to join a football club, he was discovered while already in Italy - which meant prior to being discovered, he was just a kid who lived in Italy.How do you know why he moved to Italy?
You seem to be strangely over invested in this story.How do you know why he moved to Italy?
Not overly invested. Just made a point then defended that point against attacks.You seem to be strangely over invested in this story.
A young black kid moved from Africa to Europe at around age 10, and grew up in Italy. What's the issue?
Just looking at Amad it's quite clear he's a young teenager.
Yeah the stories also said his name was Traore. Stories can say a lot of things to fit a lot of agendas.You seem to be strangely over invested in this story.

His name is Amad Diallo Traoré isn't it?Yeah the stories also said his name was Traore. Stories can say a lot of things to fit a lot of agendas.
As can people.Yeah the stories also said his name was Traore. Stories can say a lot of things to fit a lot of agendas.
Just fyi, forging documents to fool a foreign country for the purpose of entry is a lot different than faking one's age, which includes the involvement of the government and/or FA, messing with birth documents and records, etc. The latter usually done for the purpose of fielding overaged players in order to gain an advantage in youth tournaments. It is not the same as going down to the local shop and buying a fake passport.Is that supposed to be an accusation of racism?

Give it a rest, you're embarrassing yourself beyond belief here.Not overly invested. Just made a point then defended that point against attacks.
His name was Traorè, but he doesn't like it for personal reasons so he doesn't use it. He has now legally changed his name. You're having a mare.Yeah the stories also said his name was Traore. Stories can say a lot of things to fit a lot of agendas.
How can he have a muscle injury when he never plays.Muscle injuries apparently. Hopefully it's just Ole making excuses as why they aren't travelling as he also says Mctominay and Martial are doubts too.
Holy crap, that would be amazing during night games. We're down 1-0 in a cup game. Suddenly, up in the clouds...
Or some bat signal?

Crowd goes nuts. WWE entrance music kicks in. Opposition manager hurls his water bottle in disgust. Game over, man. Game over.
I would not be concerned, because, Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I expect that they have done their due diligence before investing millions of pounds on signing Amad, who actually was in Atlanta's youth system , I would also expect that Atalanta, an Italian club that plays in the highest level in Europe (Serie A & UCL) to not have brought a kid into their youth ranks without doing their own due diligence.Anyone else worry he's an age cheat?
And adding to the fact that he genuinely looks like 18 year old.I would not be concerned, because, Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I expect that they have done their due diligence before investing millions of pounds on signing Amad, who actually was in Atlanta's youth system , I would also expect that Atalanta, an Italian club that plays in the highest level in Europe (Serie A & UCL) to not have brought a kid into their youth ranks without doing their own due diligence.
hence, your concerns were unnecessary.
Wow this is incredibleYeah the stories also said his name was Traore. Stories can say a lot of things to fit a lot of agendas.
I don't think he just sits on the sofa for weeks until he has an appearance.How can he have a muscle injury when he never plays.
tbf that's not a great argument. Cliff Richards looks closer to 18 than 80.And adding to the fact that he genuinely looks like 18 year old.
No ... He's been at Atalanta for a while and he's obviously grown with his age group. If he was an age cheat (with anything more than a negligible difference), it would have become apparent to the coaches at from his growth or the lack thereof.Anyone else worry he's an age cheat?
? they played against WBA and they train every day.How can he have a muscle injury when he never plays.
I am pretty confident Atalanta did their own diligence about his age (not so much about how the kid was smuggled in as a child, which was the higher authorities business anyway), also because a number of recent and less recent cases made the headlines in a truly negative way.I would not be concerned, because, Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I expect that they have done their due diligence before investing millions of pounds on signing Amad, who actually was in Atlanta's youth system , I would also expect that Atalanta, an Italian club that plays in the highest level in Europe (Serie A & UCL) to not have brought a kid into their youth ranks without doing their own due diligence.

Maybe he is the Dorian Grey of the Ivory Coast?I am pretty confident Atalanta did their own diligence about his age (not so much about how the kid was smuggled in as a child, which was the higher authorities business anyway), also because a number of recent and less recent cases made the headlines in a truly negative way.
He is genuinely a nice kid, his past was difficult, so all the best to him. I think this sort of narrative has gone a long way from the blatant ol’ days in the athletics, the infamous Luciano / Eriberto case about 20 years ago, the Lazio’s Minala suspected forgery a few years ago and the most recent rumors about Barrow. Anyway, medicals these days can really identify age group pretty consistently. Also, political correctness shuts up any whisper, so it is every man for himself (and their employer), and God for all.Maybe he is the Dorian Grey of the Ivory Coast?
Yeah but you usually get muscle injuries form playing many games without enough rest.I don't think he just sits on the sofa for weeks until he has an appearance.
Because muscle injuries are associated with match congestion? they played against WBA and they train every day.
Have you ever exercised or just pulled a muscle randomly? it happens. I'm sure it's not torn or broken or anthing serious just a niggle.Because muscle injuries are associated with match congestion
The only time I have pulled my hamstring was in training.Because muscle injuries are associated with match congestion
But not with Mickson or Grande, evidently ..The only time I have pulled my hamstring was in training.
United has said that Amad wants to be called only Amad and not Traore or Diallo (as I understand) same with Hannibal (not Mejbri).
