In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Depends on how badly he is injured, bruised ribs not too bad, but it they are broken, that could mean January return. Broken ribs are difficult to deal with, not much to do but rest up, not even minimal training.
On a personal level hope the lads not too badly hurt, but... if he should have to miss the 9th of Dec game, well I wouldn't be too disappointed!
Only if I bring him into my fantasy team.
This is true, especially given how often we use them without even noticing - breathing will be painful at least for the first few weeks.
But equally he'll have access to the best medical care at all times too, plus he can afford to have hospitality available on demand too - so this could speed up the healing process for him
He will definitely be out tomorrow, I had it down as a 1-1 draw, im not so sure now
I broke two ribs playing football at the end of July... I was back training and played 11 a side again within 3 weeks.
It's incredibly uncomfortable and painful for the first week but it eased drastically after that in my case.
I think he'll be back before the end of next month.

Maybe he was doing what many other blokes do when in Amsterdam and shagging prostitutes in the red light district, while getting bladdered in the Old Sailor pub?
Or maybe he was just at a concert, had the club's blessing, and was behaving himself as per usual? The fact is that car crashes can happen anywhere in the world and it's irrelevant that it was in Amsterdam or on Ashton Old Road. As for people moaning about him being out of the country, well you can get to and from Holland from Manchester as quickly as you can get to and from London, particularly if you're a professional footballer who will have access to private jets and stuff. I'm just glad he's not more seriously injured and if he ends up missing a couple of months then so what - his well being is more important than the football and what impact it might have on our prospects this season.
I was out for 2 months. Getting in and out of bed was horrendous
Sounds more like you had muscle damage than broken ribs. Though an x-ray probably confirmed it.
January for a broken rib? He'll be back in 6 weeks tops.
I fractured a rib in a pre-season friendly (confirmed on x-ray), took me 4 weeks.
Na he’s not English.
A fit guy like that breaking a rib on a seat belt?! Nah. It'll be a bit sore for a little while and he'll be back. I guess "...has sore ribs" won't get as many clicks.
There is a hell of a difference between sports injuries and car crash injuries.
As I said, it depends on how badly he's injured, may be a few broken ribs and few cracked ones, January not unrealistic. The good news from him and City is that the reports say he was wearing his seat belt, so probably only bruising!
Aguero is a top forward but Lukaku will end up tops this season.
You realise the distance from Amsterdam to Manchester isn't that big right? Depending on mode of transport you're really not looking at that much longer than a trip to London and you wouldn't bat an eyelid about that.
He travelled to Amsterdam for a concert. Some Columbian artist singing.
How is the driver? Did anybody ask that?
Actually a fractured rib is still just a fractured rib @I Believe. Doesn't matter if it happening during sport or falling out of an aircraft.
Quote me, he's back in full training before end of October.
Seat belts can cause broken or badly bruised ribs but they save your life.
I read a a headline he was involved in serious crash and thought he had a broken a leg or something. Luckily for him it's not too serious.
Probably not very good. Not so much depth in Holland these days. Don't know about his all-round game but I wouldn't have him taking corners.

yeah literally an hour on a plane - and I suspect he is flying at worst first class (possibly private) with plenty of legroom and an executive lounge to rest in ... probably more relaxing than a drive (or being driven) to london
Of course, not sure why you quoted me though?

This. I've broke my ribs 3 times in the last 2 years kickboxing ( not very good at it lol) and its never much more than a month. Usually 3 weeks.
Has year I broke my ribs, I swear its the worst pain I've ever had. I couldnt lie on my back. Its a nightmare.
Sleeping for the first week is absolutely horrific, as is coughing and sneezing!
I coughed and it knocked me dizzy. I remember thinking at the time, a broken leg would have been more comfortable than breaking my ribs. At least you get some relief.
I once fractured my ribs on the left. It was frikkin awful discomfort. I couldn't breathe easily, nor sleep at night as it was a chore to toss and turn. It's just an awful injury. And if it's broken ribs you can multiply the situation by 5
Actually, I remember being told that a clean break is better, as they can pin that. A fracture is a worse injury.
Edit: Not 100% on my facts here as can't with certain accuracy recall if a medical professional told me this, or some random mate.
Sane Jesus Stirling
D/BSiva De Bruyne
Fernandinho
City will cope just fine - Mendy will be a bigger loss for them
As for ribs - Ive had a fracture which was pretty small and it was better pretty quick - certainly within 6 weeks I was totally fine... Ive also had a rib virtually snapped in 2 - very different - even a few months later I was struggling with things like driving so it depends how severe it is

Glad he’s relatively unscathed. Hope he recovers quickly and fully, both physically and mentally.
I'm guessing if it's even slightly a nasty rib break then Sergio will be getting the best treatment money can buy:
A new two-hour surgical procedure called the Synthes Rib Matrix, now available on the NHS and privately from £12,000, can transform recovery time.

which in fairness is around 9 hours wages for him... so not exactly an issue
Speaking on a human level- i hope he recovers quickly.
Hope he recovers as quickly as possible, he's been so good this season, not just in front of the goal but in his defensive contribution and build-up play too. Jesus is more than capable cover though, and Sterling and Sane have also got goals in them. Also, I do not share this attitude that you cannot be happy when an opponent's player gets injured. Sure, I never actively wish a rival players get injured, but if they pull a hamstring, then that's good news for my team. Of course it's different if it is a serious injury or a repetitive one, it's never nice to see any professional suffer such misfortune.
Be well and stay safe.
Well exactly that. I don't really give it much thought but the idea that a City fan can't be happy when Pogba pulls his hammy or a United fan shouldn't be happy when Aguero fractures a rib is a bizarre one for me.
Being happy about a Mendy or Zatan type injury is a bit shitty as they are bad ones, but cracked ribs or pulled hamstrings?
What was he doing at a concert before a massive game against title contenders?
Broken rib and fractured rib is a bit different and a broken rib takes more time to heal, I had 3 fractured ribs and I never stop working and even spearfishing at the time (now try to hold your breath with fractured ribs 
), the thing was they weren't that bad and I would say was slightly fractured - yes X-ray confirmed, even when I broke my right foot I still went to work until I removed my shoe because the pain (I didn't know at the time was broken) and I couldn't put my shoe back because my damn foot was twice the size. I drove to the hospital and then back to work (was my first week at the job). He will survive
