Just got this from the club's website...

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is to have surgery today (Tuesday) on his troublesome knee injury.

Scholes will be missing for 3-6 weeks ruling the player out of some crucial Premiership matches and the Champions League opener against Maccabi Haifa.

The injury stems from a challenge in the Amsterdam tournament during pre-season, and the


United and England star has struggled with the injury ever since.

Scholes was on the end of criticism for not joining up with the England squad, but the United star will now be missing from United's line-up for about a month.

Report by Ben Hibbs.


Sheeeeiiiiiiit!
 
Not worried.

He and Keane need time to chill out, gets their heads sorted and return refreshed.

Butt and Seba will jump at the chance of a prolonged spell together.

Plus, as a billy bonus, Ole is more likely to start, AND that should mean more than 2 minutes a game for Forlan.
 
Bad news. This means Stewart will have to step up, but hopefully it doesn't mean we start seeing Forlan played in the midfield.

Thats what he needs and thats what we ned to

COme on FORLAN come on SEBA!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
feck. He was in the best form of all our players too. I wasn't impressed by Veron and Butt against Boro, I do hope they get their form going now that they'll be playing every game in a stable formation for 6 weeks.

If was injured then Stewart should replace him, if Veron was injured then I guess Forlan or Timm or better, Beckham in the middle with Chadwick on the right.
 
Very Bad News but .........

Could this (yet another set back) actually turn
out to be our kick start!!!!!

A settled 4 4 2 of a regular 11!!
LETS HOPE SO!!

We need SEBA & GIGGS to put in some good performances!! (like we know they can)
our two most naturally gifted players!!!!

Becks & Butt are nearly always impecable displays
Plus RVN & OLE up front for more than 15 MINS a
game IF THAT!!!!

Thats have a good push ready for KEANO & SCHOLES to return itching to crush our christmas oppersition!!!!!!
 
He'll be back in 1-2 months guys! Be positive... :p

Just hope that there's no surgery for Veron also...

Rams you bastard, you've got me thinking of that now. My whole day has just been ruined :mad:
 
lol..

I don't think we have a huge problem, we can still play Giggs-Butt-Veron-Beckham, with Stewart, Fortune, Chadwick, Forlan as backups.

Heres hoping that we will have a re-vitalised Scholes and Keane in a couple of months..

Agreed. People seem to overlook Chadwick and Fortune.

Fortune is out for 6 weeks with an achilles injury, and Chadwick is a couple of reserve games short of match fitness.

I think it's a blessing in disguise
 
All those people who said Veron must be sold should now be hanging their heads in shame.
Midfield is the strongest part of United's squad but just three weeks into the season it's being stretched to the limit. Just as well the injuries are to midfielders and not to strikers, eh?

Even if those who called for Veron to be sold are proven wrong, saying they should hang their heads in shame is utter bollox unless of course they are all folk who have reliable premonitions, which I don't think they are.

I'm only referring to the fact that United need strength in depth. Surely selling Veron would have been wrong. Injuries happen and United need to be covered for them occuring. That's why there could be a problem in attack if something happens to Van nistelrooy or Solskjaer. You don't need to have premonitions to know that players will get injured.
 
But were those supporters calling for Veron to be sold calling for no signing in order to replace him?

Certainly not a midfield signing. What would have been the point in weakening one area of the team to strengthen another?
 
Eh? I'm taking issue with you suggesting that people who thought Veron should be sold should currently be hanging their heads in shame because of a midfield injury crisis. I'm saying that what you are saying is ludicrous frankly.

Not sure how it's ludicrous.
All I'm saying is that people who wanted him to be sold are now relying on him. Had United sold Veron and Scholes and Keane been out for a few months each then I strongly suggest these same people would be criticising United for selling him. That's all.

Oh come on. You surely know what some 'supporters' are like?

Some, but not all. Bloody hell, I wasn't too keen on Veron after last season's showing and he hasn't done a great deal to convince me he's been worth it so far this season. I might have advocated selling him in June and conceivably I would have called for a striker or a defender (we needed both and after all, prior to Veron we had the same cast in the midfield). And you're saying that in those circumstances I should now be "hanging my head in shame"?
 
Dans, mate, I think you've got your wires crossed. Reporter is saying that some people, like me, wanted Veron sold, and that money spent on a Ronaldinho/Ronaldo/Crespo etc. And that I should hang my head in shame now that we need him (I'm not going to though cos Veron hasn't played much better than Stewart has, and Beckham could play central if need be). We are light in depth in strikers, we usually have 4, and if both Ruud and Ole were injured, like they were at one point at the end of last season, then we'd be fecked. His strong suggestion wasn't that we sell veron, scholes and keano! It was that if we sold veron, (comma's are useful sometimes) and scholes and keano are injured for a couple of months, then we'd be fecked.
