Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to call on the services of four first-team regulars for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Aston Villa as the Reds' injury crisis begins to ease.

Wayne Rooney (hamstring), Dimitar Berbatov (knee), Nemanja Vidic (flu) and the rested Ryan Giggs all missed the trip to Wolfsburg, but are expected to return to action against Martin O'Neill's side at Old Trafford.

The boss may still be forced to field another makeshift back four, but with some of his big guns back in attack he's confident in his side's ability to cope against Villa.

"We expect Vidic to be ready for Saturday. Ryan is fit and I also think Rooney and Berbatov ) will both be okay," said Sir Alex, following Tuesday's win in Germany.

"If I have that availability I am okay and I’ll be happy enough because I can play a back four of Fletcher, Carrick, Vidic and Evra."

The Reds are currently just two points behind leaders Chelsea, after a good run in the league which has yielded three straight wins with 11 goals scored and just one conceded.

"Our league form is very good. We’ve scored two fours away from home in the last two games which is great," added Sir Alex.

"We have a very difficult game on Saturday against Villa, they are always very hard to play against, but our form is good and you want that going into any game. Hopefully we can keep it going."

WTF 

Luckily Vida is alright for the upcoming Villa match

obertan is not tamak like nani or ronaldo.. sir alex should try him n valencia together... obertan in left.. valencia in right... waa...

Owen, was once one of the best young strikers in England until he's injury struck him. Then Benitez decided to let him go to Real, while at Real, chances were limited due to the Raul and other so called more qualified strikers. But everytime Owen played, he earned rave review, even scoring more than he appeared. soon after he moved to The Toon Army, and even there, his injury was just bugging him. Most of the clubs in England didnt think a veteran poacher would be able to bag in the goals like before. But as always, SAF found a gem in the rough. Well. actually a dusty gem  =)

Nevertheless, every since Owen scored a hat trick against Man city in the 02/03 season (mind you the keeper was our great Peter S), i've always like him. Unfortunately he played for Liverpool back then. But now, I'm just glad he's playing for us, and grateful enough to watch him thrash Wolfsburg. He's got speed alrite, even though not as fast as before. but he sure still remain one hell of striker..

Obertan was another one that was constantly injured and was overlooked by many. He was once, like Owen, one of the most courted youngsters and one of the brightest prospects. Sad enough, injury plagued him as well.
Nevertheless, obi-tan is playing for us now.

Long Live SAF!!

WTF?   

WTF?   

what Anderson trying to do? buttseck ke? 

Sol Campbell has invited Manchester United to make a move for him after he was linked with a shock switch to Old Trafford.

Widespread reports on Wednesday suggested United were lining up a surprise deal for Campbell to bolster their injury-hit defence.

The former England international is free to find a new club after finally securing his release from Notts County after an ill-fated spell at the League Two club.

The 35-year-old, who will have to wait until January to join a new club, is currently training with former side Arsenal as he looks to maintain his fitness.

Reports have claimed United are ready to invite the veteran for training as they weigh up a short-term deal for the central defender.

Wait

Campbell has revealed he has not heard from anyone at United, but that he would interested in a move to the reigning Premier League champions.

"I have heard nothing officially from Manchester United, but there have been suggestions and of course, it would be a great move for me, if it happens," Campbell told ESPN.

"I shall just have to wait and see if a call comes through the right channels.

"Of course I would love to play for Manchester United, but I am not counting any chickens, just waiting to see what happens.

"I am training as usual at Arsenal, and would go to train at Manchester United if I was asked."
