Massive Injury Boost For United


Defender Rio Ferdinand has given Manchester United a massive boost ahead of the Champion's League clash with Inter Milan tomorrow evening.
Ferdinand trained today after picking up an injury in United's 4-0 win over Fulham on Saturday.

O'Shea also trained, he also picked up a knock against Fulham. United are still without Tosic (he's ineligible anyway), Rafael, Brown, Neville and long term absentee Hargreaves.

The players who trained today are: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak; Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fabio, Evans, O'Shea, Eckersley; Ronaldo, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Nani; Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez, Welbeck.

Sir Alex Ferguson is currently in his pre-match press conferences (started at 12:30) so hopefully we will have some news soon.

Ahead of the game tomorrow, Ferdinand has called on the supporters to 'pump up the volume'.

"If the supporters can recreate that night (last season's match against Barcelona) against Inter then it’s almost like a 12th man," Rio told United Review.

"I remember what it’s like coming here with West Ham and Leeds. Some of the opposing players might not have been to Old Trafford before, and that kind of atmosphere can make a difference.

"The Barca match was one of the best nights of football I’ve been involved in, in terms of atmosphere. The crowd were so loud. The general atmosphere and excitement was unbelievable before, during and after the game. It was fantastic.

"Old Trafford’s a great stadium, with a lot of tradition and history, but when you go out there and the fans are going crazy, you can just see the passion and desire in the stands, willing us on to do well – it’s a real inspiration to us all."
