Man Utd boss Ferguson reveals big four back for Chelsea clash

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will welcome several stars back for their trip to Chelsea.

The Reds boss hopes to name Wayne Rooney, Nani, Tom Cleverley and Ashley Young in his party to face the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

"We’re a bit better in terms of injuries," Sir Alex said at his Friday press conference. "We hope Wayne Rooney, Nani, Tom Cleverley and Ashley Young will all be in the squad.

"It’s more likely Tom will play against Chelsea Reserves on Monday, but he'll travel. Rooney and Nani have trained for the last two days."

The news is less positive on injured goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, though David De Gea should be fit after missing the midweek win over Stoke.

"It looks like Lindegaard will be out for at least four weeks, maybe five to six, with ankle ligament damage," Sir Alex added.

"We don't know what his recovery from injuries is like, so we'll have to wait and see, but I would have thought at least four weeks."

AVB beware of Alex Ferguson mind games again and should not allow such talks to determine what we are to achieve come Sunday. Forget about any pressure and urge your boys to go all out their and play the match like final with cursion.

lol, each manager should have his own team. AVB has yet to have his own.

time for chelsea to clean out the old stuff and get new ones in. give the new coach a chance. i've yet to see him able to make a big buy yet. failure on chelsea this season will definitely not be on the coach
