Injury List Longer than a Grocery Receipt…
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is dishing out tough love for the Red Devils, suggesting some players lack the “mentality” of a superhero when it comes to bouncing back from injuries. Picture this: Ruben Amorim, with a constantly empty bench, juggling injuries during Premier League chaos. It’s like a soap opera with a medical twist!
United’s injury roster reads like a soap opera script: Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are fighting some unwelcome bruises, while poor Martinez and his knee have called it a season. Luke Shaw? MIA for over a year. Jonny Evans skips matches like an Olympic sport, and Mason Mount is on a December break until further notice.
Meanwhile, Toby Collyer’s mystery injury and Amad’s ankle drama make for a season finale-worthy plot twist, and Kobbie Mainoo’s recovery saga is still unfolding.
Scholes reminisced about his days when he was a physio’s worst nightmare, constantly pestering them on updates. “Come on, when can I bust out my superhero cape?” he quipped. He misses strong player-physio-manager relationships, like Hargreaves’ unfortunate tale with manager fury thrown in the mix. Ouch!
United’s injury woes are legendary, but maybe a dose of Scholes’ determination and a sprinkle of superhero magic could change the game at Old Trafford.
