In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Tell him he's 25.
What the hell was he still doing on the pitch!It was only a few minutes. Sometimes they can answer the must know questions and still have a concussion. He wasn't in much danger and he knew what he was doing on the pitch.
I remember playing once and one guy in my team got a concussion. He knew what day it was, he knew his name and could count the fingers. It happened about mid-to-late in first half. During half time he asked what team we were playing. The manager took him off.

Concussion? Hope it doesnt mean he has to take a break for a few weeks
He could take the time and sane to update his twitter, he'll be fine in a couple of days
I thought concussion was 2 weeks off for safety...
I'm pretty sure SAF has said that players who have a concussion will be rested for two weeks as a precaution, that would be another huge loss.
That's Rio and Welbeck injured in the last week, we should be due one more in training at our rate! Hopefully Welbeck will be fine from that slight knock against Bolton, but I hope we don't risk Rio if he did have a concussion, that's serious stuff.
Rio Ferdinand an injury doubt for Arsenal game | Mail Online
He said on Twitter he's fine.
Ah, sorry didn't realize it had been posted. But still, even if he feels fine he really shouldn't play for two weeks. Our player's brains are more important than 2 games.
To be precise he said he's training normally and is not a doubt for Sunday.
If he is concussed, let's use his confused state to convince him to join Redcafe...
Rio Ferdinand breaks down in training with back injury and is major doubt for Manchester United trip to Arsenal
It's only from goal.com but with our injury record and that Rio wasn't on Twitter today it's possible.

Very worrying indeed. With Rio, you know that there's always a good chance that these rumours can be true.
This back of his is bloody frustrating as feck.
He tweeted he was fit and ready, and he couldn't wait. On Tuesday.
feckin' jinx.
feckin' jinx.
It will be very difficult for us to win the League with Vidic out for the season and Rio's back (presumably) not co-operating. Very difficult.
look like its true, feck sakes.
Lets face it - he's knackered.
He's finished really, can't string any number of games together.
Anyone else feel a bit nervous watching him play this last while? He seemed to really struggle with the pace of the game today.
Yeah, it looks like he might be done.
unlucky on the goal but someone should have been there first.
No.
He's still a great defender and I love to watch him play.

Looked terrible today. Sad to watch him struggle.
Wasnt about luck. he should have been in front of luiz to start with.
Honestly speaking I've felt that Ferdinand is better for his experience in the squad than for anything else for sometime and I truly think had Vida not done his knee Rio would be a squad player rotating in when the likes of Smalling and Jones weren't available/ready for the occasion.
I keep putting my faith in the fact that earlier in the season he came back from injury and was shaky for the first few games, but then (starting in the game immediately after Vida's injury if I remember correctly) he was truly brilliant again up until his next injury.
If he can stay fit for a while, hopefully that will happen again and he'll soon be back to something approaching his best.

Smalling and Evans would be first choice if Smalling was capable of going through 3-4 weeks without picking up some knock or the other.
Yep, he looks like he is on the ropes alright. I considered at the start of this season, that it may be his last with the club. If it isnt I do not see him being an automatic starter if everyone is fit.
Ferdinand and Vidic are not going to be the starting CBs next season, I feel...
He'll be fine, difficult for him to get into a rhythm at the moment, we haven't been able to manage his games as we'd like.
Evans outshone him.
Was average.

Well this is the thing. IF he can stay fit long enough to get match fitness, then he still has something to offer. However the older he gets it is going to take longer and longer to reach the standard he needs to be at to be an asset.
I have to agree with Mikeupnorth, he looks almost done to me. Sad to say but with his injury record i just cannot see him being fit enough for long enough to get back to anywhere near his best. Anything less than that now is not going to be good enough for a team with aspirations of winning the top trophies.
Lately he has yes, but today I thought Evans was quite poor. Even worse than Rio
his back has robbed him of his legs. he's done as far as being a starter for united next year. if he is the clubs in trouble.
Thing that is really surprising me is that Rio is hoofing the ball forwards a lot these days. Not sure if its a deliberate instruction from Fergie or just Rio's lack of self confidence. But Evans looks so much more confident on the ball than Rio.
His ability to help build up from the back used to be his greatest asset.
