Premiership: Irwin for swift return

Denis Irwin should be back in action for Manchester United within 10 days.

Irwin was stretchered off with a knee injury against Charlton in midweek, prompting speculation that he may not play again this season.

However manager Alex Ferguson claims he will return in the next 10 to 14 days at most.

"I think it will be 10 days," he said. "Denis thinks seven days, but I’ve spoken to our physio Robert Swire and he thinks 10 days, no more than two weeks."
