Irons fans want Manuel Pellegrini to give Manu Lanzini the rest of the season off!

CandH revealed earlier today that the midfielder looks set to return after limping off the pitch at Old Trafford on Saturday.

We were told that he has a minor tear to his abductor muscle and that the likelihood is that he could return to action for the penultimate game of the season against Southampton or at worse the final game against Watford at Vicarage Road.

    Let him rest make sure he is fully recovered, let’s see Nathan Holland who has the potential to be better than Lanzini start a few games.
