Displeased with nonchalant mention of Scholes injury

I was recently reading an article in the LA Times entitled, “Manchester United looks strong” that spoke about Man Utd being the strongest team in the Champions League.
Don’t get me wrong, I live for United. However from what I’ve seen thus far this season, the red devils are far from the top team in Europe right now. The quality of the squad may be world class, but the team interplay unfortunately is not at the moment.
Grahame L Jones of the LA Times claims, “Coach Alex Ferguson’s squad is the best-armed of the 32 teams.”
Although I hate to say it, Arsenal may take the glory this year. If they are able to stay healthy and consistent, they have the ability to win it all. Watching Arsenal play when they are in their grove is simply amazing.
Another disturbing element of this LA Times article was the author nonchalantly claiming,” The only down note for United was the knee injury suffered by midfielder Paul Scholes that will sideline him for up to 10 weeks.”
THE ONLY THING!? Comon Mr Jones! This is a HUGE blow for Man Utd! Scholes now joins Carrick and Hargreeves of the injury list of center midfielders. Maybe my opinion is biased since Scholes has always been my favorite United player.
What Man Utd needs right now is for Ronaldo and Berbatov to get to 100%. I also strongly believe in Darren Fletcher to be an invaluable asset to the reds; especially in this current center midfield crisis.
