You're right...we should be rotating our front 3 just like Liverpool does. Oh wait...
Liverpool have a surperior fitness department so I don’t follow your comparison? Our manager admitted Rashford had an injury and yet he still played him. Totally inept.

Idiotic from Ole, once again playing someone when they are injured. He is extremely short sighted in terms of his squad management and seems pretty clueless to n this regard.

The squad management is laughable. The squad gets gutted with no replacements, leaving us with stupidly low options but we still play people with injuries.

You can't blame Woodward for this, he gave Ole £130mil to spend and he chose to spend it on two defenders and a LW.
Our defense was more in need of signings than our front line. And we can forget about getting the most optimal price for anyone especially PL transfers.

He said he had a knock. If you aren't playing with a knock then you aren't playing hard enough. Rashford didn't go out and play injured. He played hurt. There's a big difference. But I get it...everyone wants to blame our coaching/medical staff for everything that happens at the club. Doesn't have anything to do with bad luck and poor play...

In the interview on MUTV, he didn't mention timelines but said we had scans on weekend and waiting for results.

Just seen Ole interviewed on sky, doesnt expect Rashford back for a few weeks. So when (not if) Martial gets injured, what are we left with up front? .... the inexperienced Greenwood and nothing else.

This squad is the most threadbare United squad ive seen in 45 years of following them.

It’s not luck. Our medical department is crap. Liverpool’s first team are never injured and they play every week.
Does anyone know how much we have tried to change the medical team? It has been crap for many years.
Surely managers bring fitness coaches with them or have influence over them?

:lol: You know our club is run by inept morons right?

Anyone with half a brain would have offered Zlatan back, got Haaland over the line or recruited at least 2/3 more players in the summer.
It's not talked about but the biggest mistake has to be ibrahimovic telling the whole world that if man utd need him he's here. What does ole reply? 'if he wants to play he'll call me'

4 weeks till we play Chelsea with the 'winter' break before that game. Hopefully he'll only miss the league games against Burnley and Wolves at OT

OGS should be held to account for the lacks of depth in this squad, especially up front. Playing the same players week in and week out is not sustainable, especially younger ones like Rashford.

Don't give me 'it is all Woodward's fault' we spent over hundred million in the summer on the defence. UNLESS it is true that Woodward said 'No' to Fernandes, then this lies at OGS's door.

If this is true we need to go for richarlison this window. Sort of a like for like replacement. I dont think we can depend on Daniel James to fill rashford goals.

Wishing him a speedy recovery. He isn’t a machine and deserves a good rest.

You can blame luck for so long... When we have so many muscular injuries in the past 10 years or so, I think the problem is way deeper than bad luck. Whether it's medical or fitness coaches not preparing players/managing their workload properly I don't know.

Just Maguire left from what is probably our key 4 players that we really drop a level without. Rashford, McTominay, Pogba and Maguire I would say, the core of the middle.

And yet we are still letting players go without bringing anyone in. I don’t get it at all.

Something is seriously wrong with the medical department at this club. Rotten luck injuries wise for years.

Its the medical teams job to give a call on a player. They should know where he is at. It shouldny be a situation like this. They should be able to anticipate these injuries worsening.

Great that there's an opening for Greenwood now to really stake his claim for next season, but feck me how did they not see this coming. He's been injured for weeks.

Well thank feck we didn't get Haland in because the precedent it would set and shit. Also it's good we didn't get Bruno in either, bowing to Sporting who dare to raise the price up.

Time for Martial or Greenwood to get injured by overplaying now then but at least we're not looking like right mugs in the transfer market and everybody knows we're the mighty United who won't be fecked with.

Think the best we can hope for is him back after winter break.
This was always a risk of happening. Rashford has played a lot of games and worked his absolute socks off all season, recently he has scored goals but has carried a number of injuries which has effected his game. He was in desperate need for a rest but we continued playing him and the inevitable happened.

If it's true he was already injured I think Ole lost his nerve by bringing Rashford on. A panic sub. Like when we brought on an injured Lingard against Liverpool last season and had to sub him after 10 mins. Stop bringing on injured players

They don't play in FA cup or League cup games.

A lot of our first team do.

But over all its caused by a lack of spending.

And if Ole kept Rashford on the bench and we lost to Wolves everyone would be calling for his head. He had a knock. He wasn't injured. If the medical staff told Ole that a players knock could become an injury and not to play them, then we would have nobody on the field...

Woodward has only given Ole 70m net in 2 1/2 transfer windows so far. Pittance nowadays. The rest was from player sales.
The Glazers and Woodward are 100% to blame for our current situation.
