Right-back Gary Neville will make his Manchester United comeback in
a reserve game against Liverpool this week.
The club captain has not kicked a ball since March because of calf
and ankle problems but has resumed training and is ready to get
some match action under his belt.
Neville will play on Thursday against Liverpool and could be back
in first-team contention once the international break is over if he
comes through unscathed.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told the Daily Star: "We are hoping
to use Gary against Liverpool reserves this week. That's the
plan.
"He is getting better and he is improving all the time.
"He's over his last injury and he has been training now for over
two weeks and he is at a good level.
"Because he has been out for so long, he needs games now and
hopefully he can start on Thursday.
"It will be a good introduction for him game-wise."
