    What is all this bollocks of players showing support and wearing names of injured players? Sorry I understand them saying "get well soon" but ffs, they're not dying!!

    United players wearing Rojo and Ibrahimovic shirts cos they're injured.

    Twitter went mad when Coleman got his leg broken with loads of almost morbid comments about him!! They're not dead! They're injured. Zlatan may never play again but I'm pretty sure he'll get by. Watmore did exactly the same earlier this season as Rojo and Zlatan and there was none of this "thoughts wi the family" ****e! (That I saw)

    agreed, fair do's if it does end a career but until then it's just society making a clip of itself yet again.

    Perhaps they could show similar support and sympathy for the soldiers with their career ended, with no financial security, because their legs, not broken and healable, have actually been blown away.
    (I'm sure there are some players who do what they can)

    I find it unbelievable that footballers are adored how they are. If all this shirt in support of injured players takes off they are heading into the entertainment world of make believe, leading to awards of best hair style, finest legs, or finest dive.

    So made effort to show support for injured player.

    Whoopydo. Who gives a ****.

    We have whip round for a cad and flowers at work wen someone's sick.

    Don't make nationals press though.

    Maybe we should make more an effort you get our flowers and card on he front page of BBC or the daily nail.

    Non-story.

    I've had great weekend now that's a story!

    Can you imagine a modern team with players called Fred, Len, Jimmy or Stan with their hair parted down the middle playing in two inches of mud with a ball like a Christmas pudden.

    Off to catch the charabanc now.

    What's it got to do with guts? Are you going to tell me that in your day players who suffered cruciate ligament injuries just 'manned up' and got on with it?

    There was no need for the shirts but it's got absolutely nothing to do with having guts.

    I don't think it makes Zlatan or Rojo pansies because of other players wearing their shirts, but still I think it was unnecessary.

    I'm sure both players have phones and can read a text message.

    Its just a club generated publicity stunt to try and show that the squad is united and on good terms. Thats all.
