United could be boosted by the return of four senior players for
the visit of Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday.
Rio Ferdinand (neck), Ryan Giggs (illness), Gary Neville (calf) and
Gabriel Heinze (hamstring) are all in contention to play against
Rafael Benitez's side as United look to retain top spot in the
Premiership with another valuable three points.
"We will have to wait to see the extent of Ferdinand's injury but
Ryan will be okay, it was just sickness," says Sir Alex.
Ferdinand and Giggs both dropped out of the starting line-up during
the warm-up ahead of the Copenhagen game. But both could return on
Sunday, while Heinze and Neville have been working hard in training
to prove their fitness ahead of the game.
"Heinze is training well and I think he has an outside chance for
Sunday," added the United boss. "He's in full training now in terms
of rehabilitation and running.
"And we have also wanted to give Gary Neville a full week's
training before the Liverpool match."
