Henrik Larsson returns to Sweden next month, granted he didn't do what a lot were expecting but had good field presence.

Rooney could potentially be ruled out with a leg injury, having a scan today I believe

Solskjaer out for the rest of the month after minor surgey (Back 31st)

Which leaves

Louis Saha
Alan Smith - Maybe not fit enough??
Dong Fangzhou - Currently playing in the reserves
Frazier Campbell - Don't know much about him

If Rooney is out for the rest of the month we could run in to trouble.

What do you think Cosmotron?

going to have a bit of a problem there if Rooney is out for a few weeks too....I doubt he is though.

Just have to hope Rooney and Saha stay fit, and paperboy can keep fit for more than 20mins.

Solskjaer - looks like an 8yr old paperboy

Yeah Ronaldo would have to play up there, but then your midfield will be short with Scholes mising too.

Seems his legs are made of paper too I hope Smithy can get a bit of first team football as he is a good player when fit.

If anything Giggs will play off the main striker imo, the reason being the midfield can cope with losing him with Ronaldo and Park able to play on the wings.

It's not as though your midfielders aren't scoring so not a massive worry for you's. Ronaldo and scholes, carrick et al are all capable of putting some away.

we have the depth to cover this i think, depending on whether fergie wants to go 4-4-2
4-4-1-1
4-5-1

giggs/ronaldo can play more aggresive roles off the striker (saha if fit) and either park/richardson/fletcher can play the wings.

or we could get smith in there?

the problem in the next 3 matches are how do we replace scholesy? o'shea? smith? i dunno...

I think the problem is next year, the 9 point gap and the winning run they're on should take care of this season i think. Man U should be in the market for the Etoo's and Villa's come summertime, will be interesting to see who ends up with who!

I think Utd need to buy more players than anyone else at the end of the season, simply due to the few holes you have at the moment (central mid and forward) and the few older players who you'll need to get cover for and ease a replacment in over the season.

fletcher is a decent player imo. i remember ealier in the season against liverpool when ronaldo was injured. he chased everything and was one of the best players that day.

Try watching Scotland then him and Barry Ferguson are our 2 best players

In all honesty he's not bad he's premiership standard, i doubt he'll ever be a regular starter at United though.

I don't think Ferguson rates him, either that or he knows he isn't mature enough to cope with the pressures of scoring the goals to win the Premiership.

There are better players than Fletcher for Scotland Not better than Barry though I think/hope Man U go in for Villa in the Summer.
