Any news then? Thought he was having a scan on his knee Monday? I'm fearing the worse.
Been a stand out player for us this season.
 
Don't think we'll hear anything till the presser - just hope it's not "he has a knock" and then we are left to wonder.

His twitter following is up 72% if that's what you mean?

Oh, and the Dutch press reckon Blind's Dad has said 4-6 weeks. Medial ligament tear.
 
Daley Blind's dad stated this immediately after the injury, without any scans.
He is not a doctor, so I dont trust his assessment.
We need to hear information from a Man Utd official.

Pretty sure he said he had a lot of water around the knee, and will need to wait for that to settle down before any scans will reveal the damage.
 
Could be out for six months according to LvG :(
 
To be fair, it's potentially out for upto 6 months. Sounds like we'll know more in a few weeks.
 
My heart just dropped when I read that on BBC website. Absolutely gutted, he was really settling well and looking like a great addition. Up to the rest of the squad to come in and do the business now. Just got to pray that the diagnosis has been exaggerated and we may see him again this season.
 
His dodgy English has come into play. Helen Evans just said it won't be 6 months as first reported, that's what Van Gaal was trying to say.

10 days apparently. Scans are fairly useless immediately after a knee injury. They need to wait for all the swelling to go down.

Van Gaal is probably being a bit pessimistic by talking up the worst case scenario but - with the season that's in it - who can blame him?!
 
Horrible for him personally and a blow to the team, but this doesn't really instill me with pessimism. He's done a good job and would probably be a regular starter the rest of the season, but we do have Carrick as well. If he stays fit and plays at half the level he did during his super season, Blind shouldn't be a too big loss. A big "if", though.
 
Our inspiration and not at all confusing new leader. With such a coherent communicator in charge you have to wonder why our team has looked so muddled so far this season?

The above video suggests he was very clear in fact. Blame the dodgy journos for the announcement.
 
Just when we thought we found a proper holding midfielder for once. Well, its back to sink or swim with Michael Carrick.

Any chance to jump on LVG eh? :lol:

The ultimate Moyes apologist.
