Announced on deadline day of course...
We need reinforcements

Christian Eriksen has left Old Trafford on crutches
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
It'll be a big ask to get match fit to play a part in the run in given how crucial those games are likely to be.
Noooooooo!
So Carroll accomplished what he wanted to. He almost got Casemiro too.
Tomorrow against Forest. We're 3-0 up.
Surely we’ve got to get someone in on loan? This is such a massive loss for our season.
To not at least try would be negligent.

I reckon there's a good chance he'll still get a few minutes
Tielemans for around £10m is a no brainer. But glazers obviously won’t stump up the cash.
WOW.
If it weren't for a Carroll clattering he'd have survived the night injury free.
You’re constantly banging on about this. His age, amount of games and lack of rotation has absolutely nothing to do with this.
He was snapped by a big gormless twat, which could’ve happened in any match.
Two players we have lost to injury and the refs didn't give a red card either time.
Tielemans for free at the end of the season is a better 'genius' move.
Too much optimism here regarding a late deadline day signing. When they couldn't plan for a potential injury even after Donny why do you think they can get a player in a day?
We should be aiming higher than him in the summer.
Out until April. Oh balls. Two months of McTominay could really hurt our season.
It's time for Kobbie Mainoo. Or Zidane Iqbal. In a properly coached team, easing in younger players is easier. We're definitely not getting anyone in this window.
Fecking Andy Carroll
Is there no retrospective punishments now due to VAR? Carroll deliberately went out to injure our players. Absolute cnut.
That poster likes to be dramatic and moan
Wouldn’t really be easing them in though would it. Do expect we’ll be seeing much more of them now though, no choice really.
Anyway. Terrible news and just our luck.
You're missing the point, that's the exact reason you don't risk such players as those type of outcomes are foreseeable. Basic risk management is to not play key players with no backup in such games.
If we're not able to bring anyone in its even more reasons to wrap them in cotton wool.
Give it a rest
Not great. Comfortable with Fred playing most of the time, but against defensive teams playing a deep block, we will miss him more.
Bugger.
Too many important games, not enough fit and available quality CM options as it stands.
Can't see us bringing in a replacement either. Unless we do, the lack of quality replacements in CM is certainly going to catch up with us and hinder top 4 / trophy hopes.

Out for the season then basically. Big blow.
Andy fecking Carroll. cnut.

This is gutting to be honest. Really puts a spanner in the works. Think people will realize just how key he was now he’s injured.
He's 30 for a start. Would've rested against Forest on Wednesday. You're acting like it was a muscle strain from being overplayed.
What’s the point having key players if you don’t use them to achieve your goals?
Again there's no indication that it was due to fatigue. So it's something beyond anyone's control but Andy Carrot the big dumb idiot talentless yeehaw donkey.
If he was rested against Reading, there's no guarantee he won't get injured in any other game due to another player tackling him. Basically we need depth. Relying on Eriksen for a full season was never realistic. Next season we need to start the season expecting him to get injured at some point aka MORE DEPTH.
Time to get that Fellaini guy on speed dial
Mac Allister!
Thats just stupid logic though isn't it. You don't need your starting 11 in every game to achieve your goals. In fact to optimise performances you probably need to do the opposite to maintain their condition.
Fergie used to rotate in such games all the time but I guess he didn't know how to achieve goals.
Anyone worried about fixture congestion towards the end of the season need not worry now. We’ll have Thursday available for rest by the end of the month.
Not if replacing Eriksen in the starting 11 is the difference between top 4 and an FA cup win, or not.
Late April?!
I didn't look that bad ffs.
Could Bruno play his position maybe?
And Sancho goes to play Bruno's?

Fred was always the better option away to Barcelona and arguably at home too.
Feel for him. First the Euros and then this.
Bloody brilliant. If he's not back until early May, that's practically his season over. He's not going to get match fit before the season is over.
The club aren't buying anybody. Fred is going to need to step up.
