Edwin van der Sar insists there's no need for panic at Manchester United over their injury crisis.

"I am still confident," said the veteran Dutchman.

"Sometimes people get injured and miss games. That is what happens. Others have to come in and step up. Hopefully that is what will happen next week.

"We are a bit short of firepower up front but we have a big squad and our strong defence will give us something to build on."
