So what LvG is saying is we basically have no players left that aren't forwards except our goalie. It's been heading this way for a while if we're honest. I think i'm going to try not to see Sunday's game results, its not going to be pretty.

It seems he picked up the injury in training yesterday. 2 midfielders in one week.
Those other clubs have already left us behind, IMO. We're so far behind Chelsea and City on paper, it is beyond belief.
One great signing in the shape of Di Maria, Benatia or Vidal would change everything. Can't see any of those three coming, though.
This is my fear as well. Let's just hope RvP is back and we can settle in and grind these out.
Van gaal didn't say anything about it, think someone was on a WUM.
Unreal, absolutely unreal.
The midfield options were bottom half of the league quality anyway, probably worse if Ander is out.

There isn't a one man on earth who can cover both and entire defense line and midfield line, because that's what we're lacking right now. If Smalling is injured too Sunday could probably be mistaken for a reserves match.
Are you trying to say Herrera was shot, or set on fire? Either way that's a lengthy spell out.
feck sake.
Had we sorted Our midfield out by now we would have been able to deal with two injuries pretty well.
Potential twitter bollocks, but 6 weeks is the rumour.
fecking hell, we have no luck do we?

It's Carrington when the season comes around.
By sorted our midfield out, you mean signed one more midfielder?
Not him... how depressing
You have to be fecking kidding me. Are our players incapable of getting 'knocks'?
We will have to panic buy now to compensate for the injuries.
I bet the workouts at Carrington look something like this.
That can be the only explanation.
That can be the only explanation.
Blessing in disguise like losing to Swansea? We need to buy.
6 bleeding weeks
How many 'blessings in disguise' are we going to get in the coming weeks?
feck sake!!!
Cleverley and Fletcher it is then.

Betfair, a reliable source for injuries...
People always saying ''what if Herrera get's injured''
So typical that it happens straight away...

Too many 'rumoured' and 'could' in these tweets. Nobody knows.
You know to make things 10 times worse it's going to be Fellaini or Cleverley who injured him.
Like when Rio got injured before the World Cup and it turned out to be Heskey.

Get Pearson and Rothwell involved. Not joking.
That midfield partnership is as grim as a scottish housing estate in winter. We need signings badly, we really do.
6 weeks. Bloody hell. The midfield is depressingly bad now. Sunderland are going to be all over that. What luck.
Time to get Scholesy out of retirement again.
Be hard to understand if neither of them even make the bench.
Fletcher and Cleverley nailed on to start, mind you. Possible he might drop Mata for Kagawa, though. God knows our CMs will be needing a bit of help fetching and carrying from whoever plays at 10.
Can we actually wait for confirmation that it's as long as six weeks before dousing ourselves in petrol?
Carrington was cursed during the witch-burnings of the 1560's. The surveyor United employed should be sued.
Yup. Made it all up.
Yup. Made it all up.
Even if he was desperately unfit he'd still be a better option than Cleverley.
Panic stations anyone?
we are fecked. So injured yesterday? That is not the reason LvG took him off then. Even if i dont like them that much, get Khedira and De Jong in.
Six weeks means he'll take ages to get into his stride. I now won't be surprised if his whole season suffers, and he now has a seriously patchy, inconsistent, underwhelming first term.
The absolute worst time to pick up an injury - for him and us.

If it does indeed turn out to be 6+weeks out, then you just have to laugh. I hope Van Gaal had fun assessing his squad.
