Ferdinand Fit for Barca

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand will be fit for the Champions League Final meeting with Barcelona, according to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

The England centre-half was absent from the crucial Premier League victories over Manchester City and Wigan this week and Ferguson was resigned to being without him for the possible title-clincher against Arsenal on Saturday.

Vidic Going Nowhere

Nemanja Vidic's agent has reiterated his statement that the Manchester United defender will not be leaving the club this summer despite reports linking him with a transfer.

Silvano Martina is adamant that no move is set to take place because the 27-year-old Serbian international wants to see out the remaining three years of his contract with the Red Devils.

Anderson tipped as 'new Scholes'

Manchester United's midfield trio of Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher and Anderson all battled through the opening leg of the club's Champions League semi-final win over Arsenal six days ago but were rested for the clash with Middlesbrough last weekend. They will presumably start again on Tuesday evening, when United visit Ashburton Grove.

Fergie Backs Nani

Sir Alex Ferguson insists Nani is part of his plans for next season despite failing to make an impact during this campaign.

The Portuguese winger was said to be upset by his half-time substitution during the 5-2 win over Tottenham at the weekend, summing up a season in which he has started only six Premier League games – and not played the full 90 minutes in any.
