Anderson back to play on Saturday

Brazilian player 'Anderson'

Anderson is set to return for the clash against West Ham United this Saturday, but AF still have some doubts for the right-back position. 

The Brazilian midfielder has not played for seven games because of a knee problem, but he's got great chances for playing on Saturday because Paul Scholes is suspended and Darren Fletcher is out with a virus. Ji-Sung Park who was unused for win against Bolton, is also available. 

Nemanja Vidic will be the captain and Chris Smailing will be at the centre alongside with Vida. Rio Ferdinand is back to training but not likely to be available until the home game with Fulham.

In their last visit to Upton Park, The Reds losing 4-0 for the Carling Cup; but Sir Alex is expecting another tricky game in East London and hopes his players can produce the goods this time. 

"You always expect a hard game when you're away from home at this stage of the season no matter where you go," said Sir Alex on the pre-match press conference. 

These game is also important for West Ham who is at the bottom of the league fighting for relegation. United are at the top of the league trying to win it. So it would be an interesting encounter. Hopefully We can get (and must) the result we need.

So, What do you think about this tricky game in Upton Park? Could United get the Three points for the Premierleague trophy? Have your say!

Thanks for reading and enjoy this game as I will do!

Festive fixture guide

I wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year and wishing United victories in the following four games...

Sunderland, Old Trafford, Sunday 26 December, 15:00

At the Stadium of Light in October, a determined defensive showing earned United a point – and left Steve Bruce ruing his luck against his former boss. For this Boxing Day return, three points will be on the post-Christmas wish list of every Red, but defence could be the order of the day again, particularly if Bruce rolls up in M16 with the same attacking gameplan that he took to Stamford Bridge.

Birmingham City, St Andrews, Tuesday 28 December, 20:00

Alex McLeish’s men are going steadily about their business this season – with the odd standout result, not least the 1-0 home win that compounded the champions’ misery a week on from the Sunderland debacle. Too many draws have, however, left the Carling Cup semi-finalists worryingly close to the danger zone – a situation McLeish will no doubt be keen to change (for the better) against his one-time boss.

West Bromwich Albion, The Hawthorns, Saturday 1 January, 12:45

Thrashed at home by Stoke, runaway winners at Goodison… West Brom are not only proving the surprise package of this season, but have made it totally impossible to predict their results. After their OT comeback, however, one thing is certain: the Reds won’t be taking the top-flight new boys lightly. And after two, potentially priceless, points dropped in that home clash, making amends is likely to be high on the agenda…

Stoke City, Old Trafford, Tuesday 4 January, 20:00

For a side that didn’t get a point on the board until the fourth game of the campaign, the Potters’ season has picked up very nicely. Home form remains the bulwark underpinning Stoke’s mid-table berth - it took a Chicharito goal just four minutes from time to eke out three points for United at the Britannia.

Chelsea game postponed

United game at Chelsea has been postponed due to the heavy snow in London last Saturday. According to The Police and the local authority, the game has been postponed. 

And finally, United have confirmed that all tickets will remain valid for the new date once it is arranged.

Written by Paul, a crazy United fan who blog about this fantastic club.

See you the next post my readers, bye bye!!

The game against The Blues is coming!

Sir Alex Ferguson, the boss of United.

Sir Alex Ferguson is in positive mood ahead of Sunday's trip to Stamford Bridge, despite not winning on Chelsea's manor since 2002.

Another striking statistic is that United's last league defeat was at the hands of the Blues, then at Old Trafford, towards the end of last season. But the Reds' unbeaten start to 2010/11 includes Monday night's victory over Arsenal, the perfect platform surely for a crack at Carlo Ancelotti's men.

“It’s a big one for us,” the boss said on Friday morning. “They’re a tough team to beat on their own ground, their home record tells you that.

"Meanwhile, our results down there have been poor over the last eight years. We’ve managed a few draws, but we’ve lost a few too.

"Our record just prior to those eight years was fantastic – in fact, Stamford Bridge was the place where we probably had our best away form."

United are set to be without John O'Shea for the match - the Irishman has a calf problem - while Paul Scholes has been ruled out until the New Year with a niggling groin injury. Otherwise, Sir Alex says he is "going into the game with a strong, confident squad. You want to go there in good form and we are in good form."

QUICKFIRE QUESTIONS: NANI

United's midfielder Luis Nani.

The Reds winger - 24 this week - gives us an insight into his life off the pitch... 

What’s your favourite TV programme?

In England, it’s The X Factor. In Portugal, I like our soaps. They’re not like the English soaps, like Coronation Street and Eastenders. They’re more like comedies.

What do you miss most about home?

My mum and my family.

Can you cook?

Yes, I like Portuguese food. My favourite dish is feijoada (stew of beans with beef and pork). I have a machine in my house that does everything! It’s from Portugal, it’s called a Bimby. If you want to make feijoada, they say put this ingredient in, then half an hour later put this in... and it does it for you. It’s nice.

What was the last book you read?

I've got Giggsy’s book (My Life, My Story) and I’ve been reading that.

Who’s your best friend at United?

I have lots of friends… the ones who speak Portuguese are all close, but I get on with the English-speaking lads too; Fletch, O’Shea and the younger lads especially. Rio is like one of the young lads - he likes to have a laugh.

If United got to the Champions League final and you only had one ticket to give away, who would get it?

[Laughs] Only one?! My mum.

Scholes: Wolves could hurt us

Paul Scholes is expecting Wolves to attack United at Old Trafford on Saturday, just as they did in last week's Carling Cup encounter.

The Reds beat Mick McCarthy’s side 3-2 but had to work hard for the victory against an extremely resilient outfit. Although Scholes did not feature in that match, he is fully aware of the threat that Wolves pose and is anticipating an equally positive approach from the visitors.

“I know they haven’t had the best of starts this season but they’ve got players who can hurt you,” Scholes said.

“They showed they are capable of scoring goals at Old Trafford, they managed two, and I’m sure they’ll have a go on Saturday as well.”

The 35-year-old Reds midfielder also shrugged off suggestions that Wolves are an overly aggressive side, claiming that teams simply employ different styles of play.

“There are some teams that might not play the most attractive football but you have to find a way of winning games,” Scholes added.

“Their managers want to get the best out of them and find the best way of winning games and they do it their own way. It’s up to us to be able to play against that and find a way of winning.”
