Think so. I don't see Evra being involved.Rafael - Vidic - Evans - O'Shea
surely?
ritchie is bannedfor 3 games as he was sent off in reserve game 26/4/10 he headbutted someone, pogba is banned from non first team footballABSENCES & CONSIDERATIONS
1. Hargreaves, Ferdinand and Anderson out for Man Utd, Obertan you can only assume is out also
2. Ritchie De Laet and Paul Pogba are apparently suspended for this
TheFA.com - Suspension Lists
3. Evra is getting his extended rest and Gary Neville lacks match fitness apparently
4. Long haul flights for Hernandez (in Mexico), Rafael (in the USA) and Park (in Korea), the extra day will make a massive difference, but Park I believe is unlikely to be involved as his friendly was later and he probably has to travel more.
5. Vidic, O'Shea, Park, Evans, Gibson, Fletcher, Rooney and Hernandez played, Brown and Rafael called up.
Any news on Ronney's injury? I just checked PhysioRoom, nothing there, and some football sites just mention 'he is doubtful'.Van Der Sar
Brown Evans Vidic O Shea
Valencia Fletcher Scholes Nani
Rooney Berbatov
If Rooney isn't deemed to be ready then Owen for Rooney.
Report from yesterday, although to be fair it is goal.com.Wayne Rooney is struggling to recover from a hamstring strain and could miss Manchester United’s Premier League opener against Newcastle United on Monday.
The United hitman was injured during England’s 2-1 international friendly victory over Hungary on Wednesday.
While Rooney has not been ruled out of the match against the Magpies, the 24-year-old has been receiving treatment since returning from international duty and is now an injury doubt for United’s opener, according to The Mirror.
Rooney was awarded both The Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year and PFA player of the Year after scoring 34 times in 44 matches for United last term.
However, the England international has not found the net since hurting his ankle in United’s 2-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich on March 30.
The star striker struggled with the injury for the remainder of the season, and was unable to make a positive impact at the World Cup this summer, failing to score in England’s four matches in South Africa.
Cheers, I also checked here as well as on eurosport.com. Basically, nothing new. SAF didn't say anything specific in his press conference yesterday as well. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Hope he is fit and ready to play.Report from yesterday, although to be fair it is goal.com.
Isn't he out for a few months?ritchie is bannedfor 3 games as he was sent off in reserve game 26/4/10 he headbutted someone, pogba is banned from non first team football
Would be a really great debut for the lad at OT but if Rooney does not start, I expect to see Owen and Berba upfront. Reasons being is because of Hernandez' long trip back and also, Owen is in good shape as well as he has a great record vs. Newcastle.We have a plethora of options available on the striker front, so Rooney missing out on a couple of games shouldnt hamper us much in anyway.
I'd be tempted to start Chicharito with berba in case Rooney doesnt make it even though Chicha has had a long international away trip. But his link up with berba looks ever so promising.
True, but if there is even a slight risk that this injury could be aggravated, I don't expect SAF to play him. Anyway, I don't recall any of the articles that I have read, mention exactly where the injury is. Is it a recurrence of his previous season injury or not?With Rooney's record against Newcastle I'd want him to start and maybe bring Hernandez on if he starts to tire. More mins under his belt will only be good for getting him back on track.
For the first time in years I'm not as worried for us without Rooney. We should be able to do Newcastle, but it is the first game of the season and a draw wouldn't surprise me.Cheers, I also checked here as well as on eurosport.com. Basically, nothing new.

I have a good feeling about this one. Even without him, plenty of options and some players that will be out to prove themselves in front of a home crowd in the first match of the season.For the first time in years I'm not as worried for us without Rooney.

I see that happening too. Besides Fergie wouldnt like to put too much pressure on Hernandez this early on. Either way, I'm not fretting much on the rooney injury. We're well covered, least for the likes of Toon.Would be a really great debut for the lad at OT but if Rooney does not start, I expect to see Owen and Berba upfront.

Yeah, what the feck is that about, Monday night football should be reserved for the Boltons, Birminghams of this world.I'm delighted that the sun is shinning and hopefully it will remain until the game. It just doesn't feel like the start of the season with a night game but a bit of sun might help.
Keep up, Sharky. Thursday nights are reserved for them.And Liverpool.
I didn't think he had an injury, I taught he was tired after the WC.Would be a really great debut for the lad at OT but if Rooney does not start, I expect to see Owen and Berba upfront.

It'll still probably mean O'Shea at leftback, I just wonder if Sir Alex will opt to play Wes Brown in this game, since he wasn't involved in the Community Sheild allow Rafael or Evans some time to be fresh for Fulham.Evra is there aswell
edit......... Evra didnt start in Dublin tonight dont think hes on the bench either
Same here. That precious 7pm 'til bed time-slot is my last remaining window of me-time. The more football that takes place in those hours the better.I love Monday Night Football. Means I can watch a league match without having to book time off with the wife as the kids will both be in bed.
