I wonder if the 4-6 weeks is for him to return to training as opposed to returning to playing, as that seems really short for a ligament tear.

By our standards 4-6 weeks is actually positive.
It's just sad isn't it...Just read through the last few pages and am absolutely shattered for Daley. He's made a pretty good start to his career for us and this happens. I guess it's not as bad as it could have been if it is 4-6 weeks, but still, it leaves us in a bad situation especially if Carrick is out too. I'm not sure I can handle Fletcher in midfield again 
.
These injuries are beyond even being funny to me now. I cannot believe how unlucky we have been. They will probably cost us a top 4 spot.

Blind was my favourite player.
I also think that he is our best outfield player.
With him injured, this is a MASSIVE blow to us.
Some people are suggesting that we shouldnt buy heavy in January. I think we should. I think we should buy some squad players, so that as each player gets injured another will be available to take his place.

Any good physio's up for sale in January?
You're looking for negatives. Smalling was very solid against Chelsea, the best team in the league, and that was his first game back and lacking match fitness. Even outperformed and saved Rojo a few times.
The media's not accounting for these injuries when critiquing LVG is worse than the actual effect they'll have on our team? Strange...
Oh, van Gaal will see Mertesacker and be in a good mood...
Mertesacker's mistakes gave Bayern the first two goals in the Cup final in 2010...
Yeah I literally mean that that is the worst bit.
At this rate van Gaal will be playing soon.
Yeah, bit of an asshole post - sorry about that. But honestly, who cares what gimps like Jamie Jackson and Craig Burley think?
Of feck off.
Ffs...
I knew it. I just fecking knew it. The moment he slotted into that cursed centerback position ... It was only a matter of time before he too gets injured. Knee ligaments, at that.
This is so frustrating.
This is so frustrating.
Leave it to our medical staff. He'll be lucky if he ever plays again.
If Arsenal play high line thenOh, van Gaal will see Mertesacker and be in a good mood...

Forgive me if I'm late to this fellas, but here goes...OH FOR feck'S SAKES.
The squad players will get injured also.
Are.you.fecking.kidding.me.
What the hell's going on at training?? Do we have them engaging in mortal combat with each other?? Maybe we should draw 11 players from the Caf since it looks like even the coaching staff are going to get injured too
You get injured
I get injured
EVERYONE GETS INJURED!

Maybe our medical staff are so good that they can find injuries that other clubs can't.
I suppose van Gaal is famous for promoting youth. He doesn't have much choice now.

Why did he have to play as a defender for us? That's like blood in the water for the injury sharks. I blame Van Gaal for not knowing this.

Who can he promote who's ready to be promoted? Of the players is United's first team, Fletcher isn't up to it, Herrera doesn't strike me as a holding mid ditto Fellaini.
For the holding mid role? Pearson, Thorpe or Reece James can all play there but doubt we'll see any. I don't think Carrick's injury is too serious though and expect we'll see him.
Fe.kin hell....
If we have any members here who know any form of voodoo, now's the time to make yourself useful.
Whatever spell it takes to break this curse, please do it!!

If we don't then we can safely kiss 4th place goodbye. You can't win without having players around.
We could offer opposition players the chance to be a United player for a day and stick them in our defence. When they inevitably get injured it will level the playing field a little.
No chance he's back within 6 weeks even if it's not a rupture. It was a bad enough sprain to leave him hobbling a little bit.
Human sacrifice. Anderson. Checking Edit...

Don't you get the impression that injuries get underestimated? I agree that it will likely be longer. I would rather be given an longer timescale, so it is a pleasant surprise when they come back earlier. Instead we are expecting players back and their injuries appear to drag on and on.
It won't matter cause he would get injured immediately.
Hopefully thats true, i wouldn't get too carried away about the return date until you hear it from the Dutch camp.
Has there been confirmation of the injury? 4-6 weeks sounds rather optimistic if its ligament damage... Absolutely gutting but got to hope Carrick can recover for Arsenal
Well I hope you don't get caught by police before you finish the ceremony.
We'll be ok IF the others stay fit. He's a cog that can be replaced. He's not that influential to the way we play or at least his influence could be replicated.
