Anderson

Changes in Kiev

MICHAEL Carrick is set for his first start for United since breaking his elbow against Roma in the Champions League at Old Trafford last month.

The £18m midfielder missed four matches but returned for 14 minutes on Saturday at Arsenal as a substitute.

New Rotation Policy?

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted he could rotate his squad more after having a strong bench at his disposal against Arsenal.

With the likes of Michael Carrick and Louis Saha available after injury, The Red Devils manager had five internationals at his disposal for the 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium.

Vidic: Training Helps

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic says he's become a better player working alongside his star teammates.

Vidic says training with players like Rooney, Anderson, Ronaldo, Nani, Tevez and Saha has helped him become a better player.

Arsenal Snatch Draw

William Gallas equalised in injury-time to salvage a draw and keep Arsenal on top of the Premier League after an absorbing clash with Manchester United.

The opening 45 minutes proved an anti-climax until Gallas diverted Rooney's tame shot in on the stroke of half-time.

Hargreaves Salutes New Boys

Owen Hargreaves is full of praise for how his fellow new signings have overcome language barriers to adapt to life at United.

The England midfielder is the only English-speaking new arrival this summer, while Nani, Anderson and Carlos Tevez are still learning the club’s mother tongue.

Fergie: New Generation

Sir Alex Ferguson believes his current crop of stars can go on to establish Manchester United as the world's undisputed top club.

Having clicked into gear in an attacking vein with 12 goals in the last three games, Ferguson now wants to see his side go on to achieve true greatness.

"The last time we had a youthful squad like this, back in 1999, we won the Treble," Ferguson told the Sun.

United Smash Kiev

Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo helped a dominant Manchester United to a comfortable victory at Dynamo Kiev.

Kiev's defence was poor. Actually to be blunt, they were awful for much of the match. They looked disjointed against a United side whose attacking wave of Carlos Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo and Giggs were a cut above sublime.
