Carrick to miss the start of the season

On the BBC now. "more to follow".

Excellent. Might as well just get everyone injured early £#%&!ing doors to set a precident eh

two dazzas in midfield

He has to buy somebody now. If not we are doomed. Like relegation and shit.

Not sure it's that big a loss

couple of combative runners around scholes will do me

he proved last season that he's a big-game bottler. his mouth does my head in too.

Good, maybe we'll give cleverly the chance he deserves.

Boss: Cleverley must stay
Tom Cleverley will remain with United this season because Sir Alex Ferguson says he is so talented that the Reds cannot afford to let him join another club on loan.

Cleverley impressed on loan last season with Watford and, although he has been considered to have a promising future at Old Trafford, Sir Alex was at one point mulling over sending him on loan to a Premier League club.

But Cleverley, who turns 21 next week, did himself a lot of favours with his performances on the summer tour across North America.

“He is an exceptional young player in terms of his ability to play a variety of positions,” Sir Alex said on Friday. “He is such a talent, we must keep him. He showed at Watford that he’s a goalscorer from midfield and we need that. He has outstanding qualities.”

The manager’s words are a major boost for Tom, whose burgeoning young career is really starting to take shape at Old Trafford.

However, Sir Alex has confirmed that two of his young strikers will be going out on loan this season to gain first-team experience. Danny Welbeck and Mame Diouf looks set to join Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers respectively.

Looks a player

It's about time I watched that film

no big loss. he's been way below standard for too long now.

hopefully it gives the chance to some our youngsters/fringe players.

Very encouraging stuff from Fergie. I really REALLY hope he is gonna give these kids a chance. The one plus from not signing someone should be this. And not just fleeting CC appearances. Take the plunge with them. Show some real faith and trust in them. Like he did with Gibson last season.Get Hernandez in there, get Cleverly in there. See if they sink or swim.

I'd hate to think of him bigging them up and then, come the crunch, he's flogging a knackered Scholes and Giggs every week.
