Even the strongest Scottish ogres injure hamstrings sometimesWayne Rooney is doubtful for United's match Saturday against Aston Villa with a hamstring problem.
He did not feature today in the Champions League against Wolfsburg.
And while United have a massive defensive injury crisis, I think the loss of Rooney for a game or

He may be racist, but he's cheap and in form (and Nicky Butt approves)
Most
Premier League fans will forever remember Lee Bowyer for his famous on the pitch brawl with his
own teammate Kieron Dyer a few seasons back. Bowyer is one of those players who statistics /
trivia addicted footie fans (like myself) can always impress their friends with fun facts:
"Did you know Bowyer is Mark Noble's cousin?
The most consistent performer in the EPL
Far and away the most consistent fantasy
performer this season, Cesc Fabregas is set for a spell on the sidelines after limping out of
Arsenal's poor 1-1 draw today with newly promoted Burnley.
Arsenal's captain was forced off with a dodgy hamstring and will certainly miss the weekend match
with Hull and possibly the Aston Villa fixture next week.
Why are you celebrating? You lack pace and are prone to senseless bookings
Cheap,
cheap, and in great form. And well, cheap.
That was the story with Sunderland studs throughout most of the fall and the first few months of
the Premier League season.
Darren Bent was a no-brainer from the start of the season (moving over from Tottenham with the
price tag of a 4th choice striker), Michael Turner looked irresistible (moving over from Hull with
a low price tag), and Andy Reid lost a bunch of weight.
