No injury worries for United

Alex Ferguson has reported a clean bill of health for Manchester United’s clash with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Skipper Gary Neville has come through training and suffered no reaction to a calf problem while Cristiano Ronaldo is fit despite picking up an ankle injury at Blackburn last weekend.

It means Ferguson is almost certain to name an unchanged side for the third Premiership game on the trot with Patrice Evra retaining his place at left-back ahead of Gabriel Heinze.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, O’Shea, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Heinze, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Richardson, Saha, Rooney, Smith.
