The Irony during Manchester United’s satisfying victory against Everton at Old Trafford, Michael Owen on commentary with BT Sport (yawn) explained United have a ‘healthy’ injury list at present; after our fabulous new summer signing Luke Shaw suffered an injury. Owen foot in mouth!

What do you make of United’s current injury problems,
who are you keenest to see back in the team?

Are Arsenal a set of southern softies, with the tika-taka Barcelona-esque football, that’s so dated, as Chelsea muscled them aside at the weekend with power finesse and Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas pulling the strings!

How good are United going to be when we get all the players back fit and fighting, a top 3 challenge on then?
