The former Aberdeen boss revealed that a number of stars were on the treatment table but they could make it in time for the Baggies’ visit.
Sir Alex Ferguson was forced to reshuffle his side following a knee problem to talismanic forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736. The striker looked off song against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium but claimed that he wanted to set things right at home to Newcastle United.
However, he injured himself during training and eventually sat out the game, with other notable absences including Phil Jones and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550, although the Serbian watched carefully from the bench.
According to Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 has not played for the past few months, while Ashley Young is also currently on the sidelines.
Luckily though, United’s in-depth squad means that Fergie will still be able to name a strong line-up when West Bromwich Albion come to Old Trafford and the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 who made cameos against the Magpies will be given a chance
to impress.
While the tactician ruled against Vidic starting the game at home, the Serb will be in contention for the weekend tie alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085.
"We couldn't risk http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vida-c40888 after playing his first game. He had a bit of soreness in his knee, which is only to be expected after being out for so long.”
He also added that Rooney’s injury will keep him out for the next 3-4 weeks, but he will be able rely on other players coming through in the next few days.
“It was a volley towards the end of training. He did a ligament at the back of his knee and could be out for two to three weeks. After his performance on Sunday I think he would have been brilliant today. You don't have two performances like he did on Sunday.
Unfortunately we couldn't risk him. Ashley Young also got injured yesterday and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 got injured against Swansea. They should both be OK for Saturday, and I will also have Tom Cleverley and Darren Fletcher, who are fresh,” the wily coach was quoted as
saying.
