Are you aware of the Évra story or not at all? The medical staff has not been great for sure. It has been the case for several managers now.You should smell under my duvet when I eat eggs.

Scott Mctominay was raving recently about the medical staff, for getting him back quicker than expected.Are you aware of the Évra story or not at all? The medical staff has not been great for sure. It has been the case for several managers now.
Sterling doesn't have a serious injury, if I'm not mistaken he started training already.Isn't Sterling also out long term injured...and I really don't get why people keep thinking Sancho is better than any of him, Rashford or Kane. He's not even close.
That's not even really a criticism of him either. All three of those guarantee you 20+ goals a season at any level, plus a whole bunch of assists on top of that. Sancho guarantees you some nice pieces of skill and running quite fast...except Sterling and Rashford also do that anyway.
Sancho could well be challenging one of them when he's around the age Rashford is now, but he's got a way to go to get there. The bar is probably higher in that area of the pitch than it is for any other national team in the world.
When did I say he did???But that's not just with Ole though. So our medical team needs a review, that's all. Stop saying Ole ran him on the ground, he didn't. The medical team thought it was OK to sub him, that's the problem.
Are you a physician? A nurse?As a medical professional, I cringe every time Ole talks about any injury. I really really hope he doesn't have any authority behind the scenes with decision making behind injury management/game playing.
Honestly, I would blame the organizational structure more than Ole if he has power to make medical decisions behind the scenes.
I just can't see anyone with a credential looking at Rashford's scans, seeing signs of spondylolysis, knowing he's had it before, and think to himself "Oh yea, I can tell the boss he's good to go against Wolves, no doubt". It just doesn't happen. You'd lose your medical credentials with such a clear mental brainfart - unless of course you were a football manager and didn't have to be accountable to your medical credentials (or lack thereof with Ole).
ThisI hope he rests it out properly and there is no hurry to return any time soon. The boy has his entire career ahead of him and we have no business risking him.
England too has great options in sterling and Sancho and don't have to rely on rashford.
Wish him a smooth and swift recovery, if not a speedy one.
Feck that. Season off and summer off needed. The next 10 years at United is far more important than the next 4 months and especially England. Who honestly cares that much about England? I'm an Englishman and couldn't give a rats about the national team.I'm sure he'll be targeting to come back for the Euros.
I'm Welsh so I certainly don't care! But realistically that's how players think, he won't want to risk missing the Euros but may want to get a few games under his belt at the end of the season to build match fitness for them.Feck that.

Sancho is phenomenal in a much weaker league. Sancho over Rashford on England’s right is as safe bet as Brazil winning against American Samoa. Rashford is useless on the right wing, not his position. They are different players whose strengths and weaknesses compliment each other.Sterling doesn't have a serious injury, if I'm not mistaken he started training already.
And let's not over hype our player, Sancho is a far superior player to Rashford. Rashford can't operate intricate 1-2s, wriggle out of tight positions or maintain his decision making anywhere near as consistently as Sancho can. Sancho is phenomenal, and Rashford can be phenomenal in patches.
Out of the two, it would have been Sancho starting on the right anyway for the euros anyway.
Which is why I don't think Rashford would start in Euros anyway. It would be Sterling left and Sancho right under a full team. That's what I had expected anyway.Sancho is phenomenal in a much weaker league. Sancho over Rashford on England’s right is as safe bet as Brazil winning against American Samoa.

I think the feeling was that He'd play as the 9 for England after Kane got hurt. No chance of that now though. Be surprised if either of them go to the Euros.Which is why I don't think Rashford would start in Euros anyway. It would be Sterling left and Sancho right under a full team.

Of course something is wrong.Something is definitely wrong with the way Ole manages players or our medical team needs a review .
Ole does rotate but in the wrong areas and wrong players. Didnt Ole rush Lingard back early last season suffered a setback?What of Pogba?Was he not rushed back again Rochdale?It was obvious that McT needed s break before he got injured.
Thank God for the winter break he would have ran Maguire and Fred to the ground, didn't Maguire have an injury scare against Tranmere in a match that he should have rested?
I'm not a medical person, but something doesn't seem right with our medical team.I mean we couldn't detect that Lukaku had a digestive issue making him to gain weight until he moved to inter.
As a club we need a proper review at all levels in all departments.
Not really. Sancho is another one of these players on here who people make out is about 10 times better than he is. He's skillful and very promising but that's where you're at with him. He's playing in an easy league for a team it's easy to play for and still not really matching the other three in terms of output. Kane has been carrying Spurs for years. Rashford literally winning games on his own for United against some of the best teams around. Sterling a leading player in a team that's dominated English football for 2 years.Sterling doesn't have a serious injury, if I'm not mistaken he started training already.

Rashford outperformed Sancho in the England matches pre Christmas and both have been in phenomenal form for their clubs since. If fit, Rashford would start on the left and Sterling on the right, with Sancho being a fantastic option to replace either of them if it wasn’t working.Sancho is phenomenal in a much weaker league.

Has rashford scored 20 goals a season yet?Isn't Sterling also out long term injured...and I really don't get why people keep thinking Sancho is better than any of him, Rashford or Kane. He's not even close.

To be fair he has already scored 19 goals midway through the season.Has rashford scored 20 goals a season yet?
That surprised me.To be fair he has already scored 19 goals midway through the season.
If not for his injury, could have scored 35+ goals by end of season, to be very honest.
We see it with the best managers who good ability to manage a squad over an entire season to keep their best protected as much as possible, fergie use to be great at it to have strong end of season run ins, we've seen klopp doing it this season.Of course something is wrong.
Only the naive believes in freak coincidences and repeatedly long term injuries. This problem is on a bigger scale and unless we let some independent authority look into it our problems will continue.
One Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge part of the decision process so to call him blameless is delusion of highest order.
It's easy to understand a managers will to play the best team available but it's in these situations we separate a naive and short sighted manager from an experienced and professional manager. Using a exhausted and partly injured star player in the last final of the season is one thing, it's another dimension of failure to play your star player when he's unfit and fragile and play your biggest talent and best goal scorer into the ground in the middle of the season. That's borderline incompetence. No two ways about this.
This is what Southgate thinks too, it seems. England have best wing forwards in the world. Sancho as a bench option is a sign of phenomenal quality of depth.Rashford outperformed Sancho in the England matches pre Christmas and both have been in phenomenal form for their clubs since. If fit, Rashford would start on the left and Sterling on the right, with Sancho being a fantastic option to replace either of them if it wasn’t working.
And let's not over hype our player, Sancho is a far superior player to Rashford.
There's a thread about our fitness regime and injuries, Olé & the medical team have been called into question numerous times about injuries to Shaw, Maguire, McTominay when they were left on the pitch. Same goes for Rashford in January. I was mostly refering to talk on the stands as opposed to forum threads in any event.Really? I love to know who every man and his dog was who could see he wasn't moving well for weeks before the injury against Wolves on Jan 15th.
He won PFA player of the month in December, no mention of not moving properly then, and a quick glance through the threads leading up to the injury, no one mentioned he wasn't moving properly, to be fair a couple of posters said "I hope we don't burn him out" but far more were comparing him to Ronaldo, which suggest he was playing and moving pretty well. In fact the Norwich game before the injury against Wolves he scored twice, he was then taken off and Ole said he was struggling slightly.
There are plenty of sticks to beat Ole with but this post is just plain wrong,there is some serious revisionism going on here!
Unfortunately the way we've rushed players back this season this won't be the case, I can see us going into next season with a half injured Rashford.Let’s get this post out the way: Give him extra time if needs be. Only have him back when he’s absolutely ready.
