It is. So what?

Shinji Kagawa back in training after knee injury and could play against Galatasaray if he makes the trip

From twitter so I'm sceptical about how reliable it is but I hope it's true

Sky said Nani, Evans and Kagawa weren't in training. Rooney and De Gea returned.

Good.

Game doesn't matter at all, so who cares?

Travelling squad:
Goalkeepers - Sam Johnstone, Anders Lindegaard;
Defenders - Rafael, Alexander Buttner, Phil Jones, Tom Thorpe, Marnick Vermijl, Scott Wootton;
Midfielders - Michael Carrick, Davide Petrucci, Larnell Cole, Tom Cleverley, Darren Fletcher, Anderson, Nick Powell, Ashley Young, Ryan Tunnicliffe;
Strikers - Javier Hernandez, Joshua King, Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda.

Lindegaard
Rafael-Phil Jones-Wootton-Buttner
Anderson-Fletcher-Cleverley
Welbeck-Hernandez-Young

451 in defence, 433 in attack.

Would be happy if we played that.

Rest Rafael, play Powell pls

I don't know why United would want to risk any regular first squad player in this game. The group is clinched but Galatasaray is fighting for their Champions League lives and they are going to be on total aggression alert. I would maybe pull a Mourinho and put somebody out there who is on a yellow so that they can get another yellow and serve their suspension in the last game of the group. I always liked that evil tactic.

Kagawa's still another 4 weeks from returning from injury.


vs QPR please.

Would you like fries with that?

Manchester United's Shinji Kagawa has been ruled out for four more weeks.
The Japan midfielder, 23, injured his knee during the 3-2 Champions League home win against Braga on 23 October.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson initially expected Kagawa to return within four or five weeks.
But ahead of Tuesday's Group H match against Galatasaray, he said: "His progress has been quite slow. He hasn't started any outside work and he may be another four weeks away."
He added: "Overall, he will probably be looking at six to seven weeks since the injury. The first job now is to get him back."

Christ.

So apparently our medical team misjudged his return, by a month, I swear they are the most useless cunts ever.

During his 2 years in Dortmund, Kagawa only got injured once, and that was only because of bad luck(broke a bone inside his foot).

Reminds me of Torres always getting injured at Liverpool and then being invincible at Chelsea.

They probably won't have a fucking clue what to do with this new medical facility being built.

Swear we employ fucking morons.

He's just reminiscing about former United players, no need to be Ruud.

Kiss my Butt.

Reckon we will win tonight? hope we can go for 100%

Very much doubt it since we're going to play kids and Galatasaray are going to give their all since it's so tight for 2nd place.

I want free money so gonna go to sleep(im utterly knackered) before it starts and hopefully i'll wake up £24 richer

a 2-1 win i'd predict.

We are playing a couple kids, other then that its what the first team should be. +rooney and/or Rvp. Defence is a bit lacking of quality.
midfeild is pretty good, Powell has looked ok.

I honestly think Powell has looked awful and had a nightmare performance.

Started off quite poor, seems to have settled into it though.

He has settled into nothing in my opinion.

Well your opinion is shit.

To be honest he looks really talentless, just someone with a good shot and I expect him to have a shit career in terms of being at United, hopefully I'm wrong.

Sounds exactly like Gibson

Exactly who I was thinking of whilst typing out that post, he just had a shot from 40 yards that nearly hit the corner flag too, very Gibson like.

Great talent and fantastic at Crewe, think he saw the dollar signs too young though. Shouldn't have made such a massive step up so quickly. Or you should at least have loaned him out for the next few seasons.
