New boys set for Friday bow
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that new signings Anderson and Owen
Hargreaves should make their United debuts in Friday's friendly at
Doncaster.
The pair are yet to make an appearance since joining in late May,
due to Hargreaves' knee injury and Anderson's involvement in
Brazil's triumphant Copa America campaign.
With both players taking full part in training this week, however,
Sir Alex expects to field the duo on Friday and potentially again
in Saturday's trip to Peterborough.
Speaking to MUTV after Wednesday night's friendly defeat to Inter
Milan, Sir Alex said: "The Doncaster and Peterborough games well
use for Hargreaves, Anderson, Silvestre and Fletcher.
"Those players who didnt play tonight, theyll be involved in
those two games."
It seems unlikely, however, that either of the new boys will see
any action in Sunday's Community Shield clash with Chelsea.
"My team in mind (for Sunday) is maybe even tonights team and I
think were ok," Sir Alex revealed.
