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?
Well ahead of schedule.
Massive news! The squad will be buzzing to have him back.
Full training returning to Zlatan
What an absolute machine. Hopefully we can start getting him slowly match fit again throughout November to prepare him for the Christmas/New Year period.
Great news to hear. Imagine the boost he'll give to the players!
Will that mean he'll be available by December ?

It really would be fantastic to have him available for the busy winter period.
I think October was the date mentioned way back and I recall thinking in disbelief there's no way. But lo and behold he's on this unlikely schedule. My goodness what a marvel.
Full training returns to Zlatan.

Schedule is returning ahead of Zlatan
Complete madness
If you read the article it suggests that he will be returning to Carrington to complete his rehab early next month.
That would likely mean a combination of drills with the other players and also working with the physios separately.
The questions remains when will he be allowed to return to full training and contact, still imagine that will be Dec at the earliest.

So, Rojo and Ibra got injured the same day - similar injuries - and Ibra, who is a lot older (slower to recover), makes a faster recovery?
Not only that but more generally, I have not come across a cruciate ligament injury healing so quickly.
If he does return to full training by 1st November, there is something almost supernatural about that.

injuries and healing/recovering don't work like that
Rojo returned to training a while back I think.
Yeah I think they are suggesting he will be back at Carrington as opposed to training/rehabing by himself. Wouldn't expect him match ready until December at the earliest.
The man has defied those claiming this injury will end his career, apart from c.Ronaldo never known such a machine of a player
Genetics i guess and he's in incredible shape.
Back at the end of August.
Nothing gets ahead of Zlatan. Zlatan invented omnipotence.
insane
So if he returned to training at the end of August, is he playing any U21s or something? When is he expected to be fully match fit?
Can't wait to have him back.
Even though I'm not totally convinced it would work, I'd be interested to see him and Lukaku playing at the same time.
Could be amazing, or absolutely terrible.

I still don't think we'll see him properly until late December/new year, he might return earlier but I would epect it'kk take some time for him to hit top form again
Meh. We're a much better team with Lukaku in it. Only good thing about getting Zlatan back is giving Lukaku some rest. 
Its' Zlatan and its' his swansong in the league. 'Course he's gonna be amazing, couldn't be anything else.
Probably after the Liverpool match.
Sorry, what I meant was I'm not sure how well Lukaku and Ibra would play together in the same team.
I don't doubt for one second that Ibra won't do well for us as a lone striker.
He's going to need 4-6 weeks full training, you'd assume, so still probably looking early December.
Misleading thread title. Being at Carrington as a training complex and using the facilities full-time is not the same as returning to full training with the rest of the squad.
Zlatan give us another forward option. This should allow Jose to play Martial, Rashford and Lukaku/Ibra at the same time. That's good for the team.
This is the most undisguised blessing.
It's Zlatan. Not returning before schedule would be a surprise.
Imagine the squad rotation possible,
Lukaku
Rashford - Mhkyt - Mata
Pogba - Matic
Young - Bially - Jones - Valencia
DDG
Zlatan
Martial - Herrera - Lingard
Fellaini - Carrick
Blind - Rojo - Smalling - Darmian
Romero
That's not even using Shaw, or Lindelof.
Imagine late needing a goal and we have Lukaku, Fellaini, Ibra, Bially, Pogba, Matic all attacking a set piece...

He's a beast. But he should be carefull to ease himself back into it and not go very hard bullishly.
I wonder he will accept the bench and rotation role or not and want to start again. But certainly against top teams in the UCL campaign our attack too will threaten top opponents. I hope he brings that same mentality again and we push on for something big this season.

I'm pretty sure his role has been confirmed by Jose - whether that is as a starter or a sub. He wouldn't have agreed to a new contract otherwise.
Ahhhh.. Blessing in disguise
remember that one doing the rounds not too long ago.I wonder is this why we resigned him slightly earlier than expected.
The second coming of Zlatan.
Would be great to have him available for the december schedule.
I would be eager to play him as a #10 with Lulaku, Rashford, and Martial around him with Pogba and Matic pivot.
