Well halve it then to 3 months - that make it better?

Boss provides injury update for Arsenal test

Louis van Gaal has delivered mixed news for Manchester United fans around the world by suggesting Angel Di Maria, David De Gea and Michael Carrick will be fit to face Arsenal on Saturday, while also hinting that Daley Blind could be side-lined for up to six months with a serious knee injury.

At the close of the recent international break, the Reds had no fewer than 12 first-team players who were doubtful to face the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium. While speaking at the Aon Training Complex on Thursday afternoon, the manager provided an update on his depleted squad’s fitness.

“It's difficult to say if anyone is back because we have to wait for Friday's training session to decide if they're back,” van Gaal told reporters. “But they’re not coming back in the squad - that's a different thing. My philosophy is that you have to train at least one week with the squad, better two. But if you see our circumstances, we maybe have to bring players back to the squad.”

Expanding on his point, the boss said: “Di Maria has trained today normally so I don't think that is a question mark, but Shaw is. De Gea is good, no problem. I think I have to wait for the reactions tomorrow in training with Carrick, but I also expect he's ready to play.

“Blind is not ready, he has a brace on his knee. He needs 10 days' rest. Then we'll have another scan and say more about his injury. It's not as bad as the doctors thought after the match, but it shall be a long story, I believe, six months or something.”

Falcao?

Hmmm

If six months is "not as bad as thought", how awful could have it have been FFS??

Hang on club account tweeted one thing and vG is saying another.

MUTV saying "not 6 months"

Fellaini and Ando it is then
