Convenient transfer window injury. He was shown in the training video's doing a rondo and looked absolutely fine. If that injury is bad enough to wait 3-4 weeks there's no way he'd be out there playing/training.Fellaini injury news
Solskjaer confirmed Fellaini is out injured:
He’ll probably be at least three or four weeks, he’s got a calf problem and that’s sad. There’s X factor in diff players and we all know Felli’s X factor and then again he’ll be working hard to get back in when all the big games are coming as well.
Very good answer. He just has the knack of saying the right thing. By the accounts of what he's said to players in the dressing room and in Dubai this, this isnt just interview chatter.On Pogba
Pogba said overconfidence would be the biggest issue against Brighton because of the way the team have played recently...
Overconfident? No you cannot be too confident, it’s complacency, it’s the other side of it, I want players to be confident but not complacent and take their foot off the pedal because that’s a big diff for me. Take people on, running passing forward getting the crowd with them because that’s what it’s about.
Yeah fully agree. He shut down the Pochettino vs him instead of Spurs v United stuff ahead of the Tottenham game in similar fashion. Love it.I love the way he shut down the Mourinho stuff.
His attitude is just a breath of fresh air, feels like he's channeling Fergie at times.
And was there only me who got excited about the prospect of him finding somewhere to live that wasn't a hotel? The fecking depths of despair Mourinho drove me to, this is now something that a manager can do to make me happy.
Bingo! Nothing wrong with being confident and cocky as long as you can back it up. That's been what United has always been about.On Pogba

?? Brighton will be up for this game whether Ole says anything or not. We've had Jose saying "every game is tricky and we will have to be at our best" and people like Newcastle came and outplayed us. Really it makes no difference, I doubt they even read the press conferences."
Everyone said about Tottenham being the test, I don’t think that’s a test in attitude, the players are gonna be up for that game, I’m looking for a reaction in a home game against a team you should dominate and be better than, that’s the attitude if we go out there and do it in these games it’s these are the points that will get you up the table.
"
Brightons team talk right there. I really like ole but i do think on occasion he should be slighty more guarded than he is. Its a really minor thing but yeah, hes a bit too open and it'll be interesting to see how / if that changes if results start to turn.
You may have a point there, but I wonder if the flip of it is OGS motivating his own players for past failings."

Let's hopeSurprised there were no questions from Ingrid. Maybe in the embargoed piece?
Once you add in qualifying words that you missed out of the quote … and when you actually hear him actually delivering them it's anything but arrogant and nothing here could be used to gee up Brighton unless it's wildly picked apart and taken out of context … in my opinion"
Everyone said about Tottenham being the test, I don’t think that’s a test in the respect of attitude, the players are gonna be up for that size of game, and then, what I’m looking for is a reaction: how do we react to a home game against a team you think that you should go and dominate and you should be better than, that’s the attitude if we go out there and do it in these games it’s these are the points that will get you up the table.

I thought exactly the same when I read that, but then listened to the press conference and his words were "How do we react to a home game team that you think that you should go and dominate and should be better than" His tone in it wasn't an arrogant one to me, it felt more like he was articulating the complacency of someone thinking they should dominate rather than working for it."

What's he said that would annoy Brighton there?"
