At least Falcao will be back, if Rooney misses out.
Never thought I'd ever say that sentence.

Do we train on a minefield? What the feck is going on?
Ogden says he's a doubt but the official twitter has just tweeted this

How come Rooney never gets labeled as injury prone when he has played less minutes in the 5 seasons than Van Persie
I'm actually looking foward to having him back, we've been doing so well without him as a team except the #10 position (Mata) so we're gonna be instantly improved.

I get the same impression. No other team suffers with so many players getting injured in the fecking training.
It's a serious concern. It's been happening for years on end, how have we not found some form of rectification?
I will admit that I have been critical of Rooney in the past but I am beginning to see his importance to United. I think the way forward in modern football is one up front which is where our dilema comes in. It has always been the United way to have an abundance of riches up front. We can't really get away with playing one up top unless we have injuries or suspensions like the Chelsea game at the weekend.
Beyond ridiculous our injury problems.
Carrington needs a serious looking at.
Anyway, that should definitely see Rooney out of the game.
We saw last year (and we've seen countless times in the past) what he plays like if he's got a slight niggle despite claiming he's fully fit. fecking useless.

Get fecked, get absolutely fecked.
This is getting out of hand now...

No fecking way
Why can't our english players stay fit?
Can someone post what that official twitter said? Can't see it for some reason.
Nonsense. You're just making shit up now. He'll have carried slight niggles into dozens of games each season. That's life as a professional footballer.
If you're talking about the first game after a long term injury (or that one season when we had to play him when clearly unfit after the Bayern injury) then that's a different story. But hardly the same situation here.
.@LukeShaw3 is excited by @WayneRooney's #mufc return: "It's a massive boost for us. You know Wayne - he hates watching from the sidelines"
Farce..
Last year Moyes and his dinosaur methods were blamed, but lots of injuries happened before that and in the last few years it has become ridiculous.
Obviously its sthing else going on, not the manager's fault, or we're that lucky that our managers have that kind of traninings where players get injured constantly.
Maybe we should quit training and just play games...
Ffs....

Is this true? Surely not? What are the stats?
Minutes played in the league between 2009/10 - 2013/14 inclusive:
Rooney - 12'225
Van Persie - 11'056
So no, it isn't true. Rooney has 1169 minutes more, or roughly 12 games. And Rooney's stats are dented somewhat by the fact Fergie deliberately left him out of his last few games, even though he wasn't injured.
RvP was regularly injured before 2011. What are the stats since the start of 2011? That would be more interesting and revealing.
Minutes played in the league between 2011/12 - 2013/14 inclusive:
Rooney - 7289
Van Persie - 8034
So Van Persie has the better record since 2011/12, based on him hardly missing a game during 2011/12 and 2012/13.
Not just the Bayern game. Throughout his time at United whenever he's had any small break from a few matches he's come back and been terrible yet we've played him because 'Wayne just wants to play'.
I'm always critical of him but I actually wanted him back for the derby in spite of this. Now he's picked up a slight knock I don't want him anywhere near the team.
Not that I agree with this anyway (loads of example of him making a big impact in his first game back from injury) but you're not talking about the same scenario. You're talking about him missing a run of games with an injury. This isn't what has happened here. He's (allegedly) got a minor injury which may or may not make him miss a singe game of football.
The first clause in your second last sentence speaks volumes...
Thank you.
Plus Rooney being occasionally dropped by Fergie, as you mention above.
The Daily Heil article linked above, has this to say about the alleged injury.
Anyone who's ever played football knows it's common to be a bit lame immediately after getting a kick during training, then absolutely fine 24-48 hours later. Seems like incredibly scant evidence to get alarmed about and start all the "injury prone" chat again.

Keeps City guessing, anyway.
No Wayne. No party.
5 goals in his last 4 visits to the Etihad. The best of which, for me, was this one:
An incredible stat. Wonder who the next most prolific visitor is and how many goals they've scored?
"Happy he's out"
Hope he's fit as we've missed him. That said though, if he's half fit then I'd rather he wasn't involved. We've seen it backfire far too many times in the past.
Thanks mate.
That minefields name is Jones.
Weren't there some stories in the summer about Van Gaal wanting to renovate Carrington or am I just making things up?
He wanted to plant trees, it's very windy at Carrington an article said.
Ah yeah. Let's hope the trees increase the oxygen enough to keep our players fit then.
