perhaps he is being sent back.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Celtic fans haven't exactly been convinced. He's had his moments but I really can't see him ever being good enough for us, or a top PL team to be honest.
He hasn't even got in Celtic's matchday squad recently....And they are fecking awful
He won't have a Premier League career. Defensive prowess is more critical lower down the table than the top half arguably.
Do you?.Good for you. I'll be glad to see him back as a good squad player during the tough Christmas and New year period.
I won't. He clearly isn't good enough. It's ok to say that players aren't good enough. It's a very small percentage of players that are good enough for top clubs. Blackett is miles from that standard.
He's not a good squad player, that's the point.
He is terrible. Not sure which is worse. The fact he's so bad he got subbed off after coming on as a sub or the fact he's below Boyata and Ambrose in the pecking order - both of whom are absolutely crap.
You could maybe get away with playing him against crap like Villa at Old Trafford but other than that his future is like League 2 level (I'm being generous, it's Christmas after all).

He wouldn't cut it in a championship team, never mind for us.
Another one that won't make it here.
The fact that we resort to call him back to help ease our defensive crisis is enough to sack Van Gaal if we ever needed reasoning.
If he's brought back it will be less to do with our defensive injuries and more to do with the fact that his recent game time has been with Celtics u21 team and not the first team
It's great to show patience towards youngsters, but he was never a player worth considering such patience. Save that towards players who actually did well for the youth teams like Adnan, Wilson, etc...
I think it's fine to say he won't make it at United, as long as the young players don't get ridiculed.
Nowhere close to being good enough in my honest opinion.
Only brought into the first team because he's left-footed.
Indeed. A bizarre decision even by van Gaal standards.
He's dreadful. We shouldn't have promoted him, we shouldn't have given him a new contract and we shouldn't be bringing him back now.
@Loublaze 's best Christmas present.
He's been spoken of so badly that I'm expecting him to do this now every time he gets the ball
Yes, get that future legend back sharpish!
Still wondering to this day wtf he was trying to do there.
Forrest Gump would do better than that guy
There has been a lot of talk of signing a left back in the transfer window. I would rather bring Blackett back as cover until a decision over LVG is made. Any other manager would go for a centre back and use Blind exclusively at left back.
I think he kinda hoped Lahm would give up chase after a few strides as that is what Fellaini himself does normally
I've only watched him once this season. Him and Boyata together were comedy gold. They got completely schooled by Molde and Blackett looked like a lamb to the slaughter every time Molde were on the attack. Absolutely woeful player. If this clown gets as much as one minute for Manchester fecking United ever again then it's time to sack LVG, Giggs, Woody and even the Glazers.
Odd bump I know but is it true he hasn't played a minute of football for Celtic since November? Not really the ideal loan spell if so.
From what i can gather he's only played 13 minutes for the senior team (cup game v Stranraer) since November. He's since been playing in the Celtic U20 development squad.
He clearly has no future at United.

Since halloween!
Edit: Oh, didn't see the cup game. Still...
That's a shame. Hard to see where he goes from here. Maybe a starter in the next defence Roberto Martinez is manager of, I suppose.
Don't think he'll be playing first division football anytime soon.
He'll do well to make it at any PL club.
He should head down to a good League One club, get some experience and then fight his way back to The Premier League like Drinkwater has.
Keane at Burnley is making his way back to the big time also.
Won't do him any harm.. Also gotta lay off the weights if he wants to develop any sort of football ability.
The difference is Keane and Drinkwater are actual good footballers. Blackett will go down to League One and never be seen again. He'll be lucky to ever play in the Championship again.
Agreed.
Genuinely is fecking shite. I'd rather give Sadiq a game. Of all the mad shit van Gaal did, Blackett has to be at the top.Did he even play a game for Celtic?
I heard he looked awful in the Scottish league. He wouldn't get in championship teams.

If he's as bad as everyone here says...then why did LVG give him 12 appearances? Surely he must have some ability
Yes, the ability to use his left foot.
