Saint86 Posted 1 October, 2014 Share Posted 1 October, 2014 United are after Matt Radcliffe with the Daily Mail stating that he is destined to sign for them following the Tottenham game... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2776856/Manchester-United-set-poach-Southampton-team-physio-Matt-Radcliffe-help-club-s-injury-crisis.html "Manchester United are attempting to solve their crippling injury list by poaching Southampton’s first-team physio Matt Radcliffe. Louis van Gaal has nine players out with injury ahead of this weekend’s Barclays Premier League fixture with Everton. Radcliffe is regarded as one for the best physios in football and his last game before he joins United will be Southampton's trip to White Hart Lane on Sunday. The experienced physio has been lured to United at a time when they are attempting to speed up the recovery rates of a number of their most influential players. Michael Carrick (ankle), Marouane Fellaini (ankle), Phil Jones (hamstring), Ashley Young (groin), Jonny Evans (ankle), Chris Smalling (hip) and Ander Herrera (ribs) are among nine players in the medical room at Carrington. Radcliffe, will be on the bench at Saints for this weekend’s reunion with former manager Mauricio Pochettino before he starts his new role at Old Trafford." Would have thought we can match whatever United would pay one of our physios to be frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 1 October, 2014 Share Posted 1 October, 2014 (edited) Heard someone talking about this at the Newcastle game a couple of weeks ago so must have been on the cards for a while. Apparently he is excellent and Jay Rod in particular had been raving about how he has handled his injury rehab (That was the context of the discussion I overheard). Pretty sure there are a number of top physios that would be very keen to work for a PL team though so shouldnt be too hard to replace.

Saint Charlie Posted 1 October, 2014 Share Posted 1 October, 2014 Then why are the mancs taking ours? Presumably because they think he is better than theirs, who incidently was working with England at the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope we have a replacement lined up to start asap. I am surprised we didn't tell United to F off especially with the work he is doing with J Rod unfinished.

WinchesterSaint Posted 1 October, 2014 Share Posted 1 October, 2014 Poch wanted him at Spurs in the summer, Matt didn't want to go as he felt he could be out of a job by Xmas given Levys sacking of managers record plus he had great facilities right here on his doorstep at saints. United are a different proposition though and very difficult to turn down the biggest club in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 1 October, 2014 Share Posted 1 October, 2014 Radliffe's obviously a greedy, egotistical, plastic glory hunter. He could have stayed here all his career and become a Saints legend, but he'll find that the expectations at Man Utd will be so much higher and if another physio comes along with greater ability in treating Galacticos injuries, then they'll just ditch him. Come on Matty, there's still time for you to broadcast your opinion in the media that the grass isn't always greener and who knows, you might pursuade him to stay. If he does go, when the Mancs play here, a concerted chorus of "Judas" should erupt form the Northam when he comes onto the pitch if any of their precious players breaks a fingernail and goes down writhing in agony.

Matthew Le God Posted 1 October, 2014 Share Posted 1 October, 2014 (edited) Saints do exactly the same to smaller clubs than them, for example Southampton got Matt Radcliffe in the first place from Preston North End. Man Utd sign Radcliffe from Saints and Saints will probably sign a good physio from another club lower down the pecking order to replace Radcliffe. We are an attractive club for most football physios in the country, so I think we're likely to get a good replacement.
