According to media speculation, the Portuguese International will not be featuring against Manchester City due to an ankle problem he picked up in training.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has been dealt with a major blow, as he prepares his team for an all-out assault on the Premier League.
The time across town the Etihad Stadium has been billed the title decider and Fergie will be needing all of his players at his disposal. The Scot has already lost the in-form http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 as well.
Nani, who has scored twice in his last two outings, is one of the most lethal attacking weapons the Red Devils have and he would usually be the key to unlocking a stubborn City defence.
Last season, he scored against the Citizens and then made the assist for Wayne Rooney’s spectacular winner. But his participation in the upcoming crunch game is doubtful.
The forward has allegedly picked up a knock on the ankle and will be on the sidelines, leaving Fergie with little options up-front.
Ashley Young has proven to be an able deputy for the Seleccao star and has only recently been omitted from the starting line-up due to allegations over his diving incidents.
While Evans and Nani are out, the rest of the team is likely to remain the same, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 likely to be on the wings.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 in attack.
Sir Alex Ferguson has already labeled the derby as a routine match for him, but claimed that everything will be on the line for this one and that a win would mean a lot to the fans. But whether United come out on top on Monday remains to be seen.
