He turned 27 in May.

In it, the Chilean team doctor asks Vidal to skip the WC. He has a Meniscus injury and those injuries take time to heal. What's the worst possible thing you could do? Apply pressure. Yes, he has had surgery, but for a prolonged career, you need to fortify the muscles around the meniscus to make it injury-free again. Vidal playing means he's probably done some more extra damage.
Expressing unpopular opinions, albeit based on instinct, is never looked upon kindly I guess.
Not if you rush it. It heals well but if you've rushed through the rehab then that has undesirable effects.
The way he plays reminds me of Roy Keane so much. God I hope he's knees are fine and we sign him.
Bullshit, friends, bullshit. I know absolutely nothing about Vidal's injury or recovery, other than what I've gleaned from the Internet. However, I won't let this stop me banging on about it like I'm professor fecking kneedoc, the world's foremost authority on knee injuries, specifically knee injuries to Chilean midfielders who played in the world cup.
To make it look even better I'm going to pad out my post with most generic codswallop I can manage to think of and keep writing sentences that say absolutely nothing, nor give any real insight on the topic I'm currently pontificating on.
In conclusion, I know no more than any of the rest of you but felt the need to weigh in as if I did.
Instinct.

It is just a basic instinct. Like when Sharon Stone moves her leg during interrogation
Well next time you'd be well advised to not pass your instinct or thoughts off as fact. See Rafa's rant as reference.
Wtf did I just read ?
The translation of red tinker's post from utter bollocks, to English.
Hahaha. That goes without saying :P
I'm talking about why youre so certain it's happening - youre heart will be in tatters should it not... even more than the rest of us!
Err... where did I pass my instinct as facts? My instinct is BASED ON facts. Where in my post do I say anything, other than what is already established, are facts? These are my opinions.
Facts provide the platform for ideas and thoughts. Opinion is formed thereof and that's what forums are there for - exchange of ideas and opinions.
The petrol station was out of tangfastics, the only haribos they had left in were 'super mix'. Don't worry Arturo I've been there.
I dont think he was crying in that pic at all, surely not....just looks, alone.
It's clear from those photos that Buffon is bullying him. He's gone.
He's just looking down at his phone in poor light? It's really a non story 
All will be clear soon enough
Unwaivering belief. I commend your inner muppet, but feel for the rest of you when/if shit hits the fan :P.Well to be doing that alone on the tour bus is a little weird....unless he needed the privacy to talk to his AGENTHe's just looking down at his phone in poor light? It's really a non story
By the way, if he signs or not I think it should be our mission to destroy the Berbatov thread since he did come and turned out to be a little bit of a dud.
Maybe this stuff about knees is all bollocks and Vidal is being held hostage by Juve. I bet they've paid the Chilean coach to come out with those comments to further reinforce the issue about his so-called 'dodgy' knees.
Personally I'm really glad United are being wary about Vidal's knee. That would be so much money if he does end up crocked most of the time. Just Hargeaves all over again. We don't just want one good season from a player at that value....
That was brilliant
I had forgotten those 'Special One' skits. Now I'm going to have to spend an evening on Youtube - thanks for nothing Aye, he can't make out if it's Woodward or Van Gaal himself calling.He's just looking down at his phone in poor light? It's really a non story
The interview has been reported in some parts of the English media, they've stayed away from the Vidal story anyway. This isn't a bullshit story, sorry if you're that sceptical you disbelieve an interview.
Some seem to think that if LVG is holding off on Vidal because of the knee and that it will lead to an inevitable move for Strootman. Strootman's injury is far worse than Vidal's. I don't understand the logic if that was the case.
Well there have been rumours since the start that Utd have been requesting medical reports from Juve and Chile about Vidal and his knee. So maybe there is more to it
Whereas with Strootman maybe its all very clear and they
Actually I cant be arsed finishing that post
You sound like Woodward preparing our transfer...
But I think he'd also wait to see how Strootman's recovery goes.
What's even more baffling is that we are not making single move towards Khedira knowing 1) that he will end up leaving Madrid anyway, 2) that he doesn't have any injury concern at the moment, and 3) the German can help us immediately from the get-go when we need to go all guns blazing early on.
For me, it's simple: sign a sure value that is available on the market as we speak and then aim for either Vidal or Strootman later.

How much will a medical tell us anyway? What do medicals actually look for?
Hargreaves passed a medical. Presumably Vidal could come through a medical but still end up spending more time on the table than the pitch. I mean, that is a risk for every player but presumably some players more than others. And it doesnt seem like a medical is a particularly effective way of reducing that risk, given the players with a history of problems who pass medicals and then go on to continue having problems. Such as Hargreaves when he joined us, Saha when he left us for Everton, Rodwell etc. Im sure if Arsenal were willing to sell Wilshere he would pass a medical, but would anyone expect him to stay fit for more than a month?

Has anyone any idea what we are waiting for?. What i mean is i understand we are weary about his knee but we are still interested supposedly so what are we actually waiting for to happen before we take this further?.
That's the problem nobody knows what is going on, if there is anything going on in the first place. Although we are expecting things to happen transfer wise in and out since LVG is back in Manchester now.
If anything is going to happen i think it will be when Juve come back from their pre season.
There is a reason they have stayed away from the Vidal story because it is mostly propagated by tabloids and or for more hits because of the sheer popularity.
ESPN FC claim exclusives about random transfer stories. That Miguel Delaney guy claims to know insiders.
