Great. THis ruined my morning. It seems every fu.king one of our players will get at least one injury this season. Not to mention Carrick played as CB, that position is obviously cursed.
I'm praying for Blind.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick is hopeful he will sign a new contract at Old Trafford after the turn of the year.
Carrick pulled out of England's squad for the double-header against Slovenia and Scotland after suffering a groin injury in training.
The 33-year-old will start his rehabilitation at Carrington later this week and United boss Louis van Gaal will aim to have Carrick fully fit by the time his team take on Arsenal a week on Sunday.
Carrick has only played twice for Van Gaal because of an ankle injury he suffered just before the Dutchman took over.
But he is more than happy with life under the former Ajax coach and he is keen to extend his contract, which expires next summer.
Carrick suffered an ankle injury just before Van Gaal flew into Manchester after guiding The Netherlands to third place in the World Cup, but he has been impressed with the new coaching staff.

He'll only get a rolling 12 months, I would have thought?
Check his record - one if the first names of the sheet and a fixture I so many champions league games. His tenure will be appreciated more in the years ahead. We were true European heavyweights with him as the anchor.
This injury seems minor. I bet he plays against L'arse. I guess they aren't really that french these days.

this is so frustrating. hope he is fit for arsenal. 
Well, everyone here who knows a bit of voodoo, please start doing your thing to keep our team fit now.
Around this time last year didn't Moyes give him a 2 year extension?
It's mostly Le Toon filling that role these days.
Frustrating that he's picked up another injury. Just getting himself upto full match fitness and working has way back into form and now another set-back. Wonder if we rushed him back too soon.
Disappointing as a midfield pivot of him and Blind would of given a solid base in front of our weak defence.
Oh Jesus, how frustrating is this!
Hopefully just a precaution rather than a real injury.
Bizarre calling him up in the first place.

What I'm most bothered about though more than anything, is that we're going to have yet another new back 4 when we play Arsenal next week.
Sell the players, invest in robots.
I believe it was a 1+1 year extension with the club having the option to activate the second year extension. Moyes was glad about it but it seems Woodward and the board were already considering the possibility of a new manager coming in and assessing the squad. LvG has always spoken very highly of Carrick, so it seems logical that his contract will be extended until the summer of 2016.
Thanks for the clarification. I think LvG realises the value of experience and I know Carrick isn't the most vocal, but leadership too especially as we have got quite a young squad now. Warren Joyce was full of praise for him the other day.
Fixed
Reinvent ourselves as a Speedball II team.
That'll probably be his limit. He'll be 35 in July 2016.
Good thing we have Blind, we should be looking at one more of that type next summer.
EDIT: Unless one of the young ones can step up.
His the experience our team lacks, gutted his injured but will be vital for us in the race for top 4!
I think he still has this season left in him...maybe next. We need to shore that position up quickly.
Roy Hodgson on the bad run of injuries England players have had of late
"We've had two injuries like this in training.
Daniel Sturridge was the first and now Leighton.
Michael Carrick felt he could get through his problem initially, but then pulled out. It certainly wasn't something he picked up in any of our training sessions.
I think Leighton Baines's injury might be the accumulation of Everton playing a lot of games recently."

Youri Tielemans bought and loaned back for one more season would be ideal.
Are we going to have to resort to Anderson?
I loved that game!
Sounds to me like Roy is starting to defend himself from criticisms that his England training is dated and too intense.
I think we should just quit the Premier League and join a local five-a-side league.
4 would get injured and we'd end up playing against a wall before the ball rebounded into our faces and kept us out entirely.
We'll have to see if Carrick will be ready for Arsenal or not; however, things don't look too good as physioroom.com and premierinjuries.com both don't have a return date for him. At this stage and age, it might be difficult for Carrick to establish himself in the first team let alone get to his best (given how long he takes to get to his best).
Do we have 5 fit players though? I doubt it.
He absolutely has to play against arsenal. He barely ever sprints anyway. He should be fine
#visionary
This. Even if he's at 90% he has to play, without Blind we don't have anyone else who can play in that role.
I'll tell you your future for a fiver
he should be given a new contract. sort of player that could play till his late thirties in a deeper midfield role (i.e. the anchor in a 4-3-3).
one of the most under-rated united players, ever.

No he shouldn't!!!
He has played against Arsenal (at Old Trafford) last season and was far away from fit.....BOOM.....out for the next 2 months
I know there are never 100% fit players on the field for a match.....but with Blind now out for the next 4-6 weeks.......we're needing Carrick more for the weeks after the Arsenal match then for the Arsenal match
Di Maria - Fellaini - Herrera should be at least on the same level against a poor (at the moment) Arsenal midfield
I would think Carrick is needed more vs Arsenal because of Arsenal's midfield's movement. The 'physical aspect pf PL' because of which Fellaini is starting last few games, it is not a threat vs Arsenal. If Carrick is not 100% then yeah, I won't want him to be risked given we have some key fixtures till Blind returns, but if fit, he should start along with Herrera and Di Maria in midfield. This is also a match where we can go back to diamond without worrying too much about opposition utilizing flanks. This depends a bit on who starts for Arsenal though. If Ox and Walcott both start, then we will need to take different approach.
Arsenal 1:2 Man Utd
I love Carrick but he is near non-existent out there. Isn't getting involved at all.
