Ferdinand out again

Rio Ferdinand will miss tomorrow’s Premier League trip to Sunderland with a groin injury.

However, Alex Ferguson is hopeful the England defender will be available for the Champions League return with Porto next Wednesday.

Jonny Evans (groin) could play against his former club, although John O’Shea will fill the central defensive slot if the Northern Ireland star misses out.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, O’Shea, Neville, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Eckersley, Ronaldo, Nani, Fletcher, Gibson, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Park, Rooney, Tevez, Welbeck, Macheda.
