United fans could witness the return of Gary Neville when the Reds take on Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
The club captain hasn't featured since the last day of January when United beat Everton 1-0 at Old Trafford. Since then, however, the Reds have had to play their last 10 fixtures without Neville's services.
"Gary's had a groin injury," Sir Alex told media at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning. "He could be in the squad for Fulham. He's done a full week's training, coupled with a 10-day remedial programme he completed before that.
"He's done very well and hopefully that's him back now."
Of course, Neville isn't the only right-back who's been out of action recently. Wes Brown has made just two substitute appearances since the end of October, while Brazilian teenager Rafael da Silva injured his foot against Blackburn Rovers last month.
"Rafael is now on the 10-day remedial course Gary was on and we hope he can join in with full training towards the end of next week. Unfortunately Wes still isn't near that stage."
Otherwise, United are almost at full strength for the visit to Craven Cottage, with Jonny Evans expected to take Nemanja Vidic's spot in the heart of defence. Vidic will serve the first of a two-match ban after receiving a red card in last weekend's 4-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool.
It's a result Sir Alex hopes his side can bounce back from, at a ground on which United haven't lost since 1964.
"You have to recover form a defeat," the manager said. "Fulham presents a challenge to us but the training's been very good all week – there's been a nice edge to it. Hopefully that benefits us."
