Hold on for this:

"We have some injury problems for tomorrow," conceded Ferguson.

"Michael Carrick, as you know, it's not worked out for us. He came off on Saturday and he's got a crack in his foot.

"It was diagnosed on Sunday afternoon and he'll be out for four to six weeks, which is not good news.

"Berbatov is very doubtful following his knee injury in Saturday's game. There's one or two other bumps and bruises. Wes Brown got a knee injury, hopefully he'll be okay tomorrow.

"Berbatov came off and went back on again in the game. There is swelling on the knee but we're working on that. We'll see.

"We've a good strong squad so we should be okay for what is an important game."

Ronaldo's return

It was not solely doom and gloom in Manchester though, as Cristiano Ronaldo is primed for his return following ankle surgery over the summer.

Ronaldo's name rarely escaped from the back pages in the close-season, as Real Madrid's pursuit of his signature became the most protracted transfer story of the summer.

It will be interesting, therefore, to see what kind of reception he receives from the Old Trafford faithful, if as expected he makes an appearance off the substitutes' bench.

"He'll certainly be involved. Whether we start him or not, regardless of other players, is not a major decision. I think he'll start on the bench," concluded Ferguson.
