On
the Title race
“"Probably the
league will start now," said the United boss, whose side face
Everton at home on Saturday.
"You will get some sort of consistency and we won't be worrying
about which players are coming back from international duty,
where they have been and arranging flights for them to come back
in time.
"We have got them now right through until March. We are
delighted with that."
On Rio's injury
We’ve identified it,” he said. “We
think it is back-related. It started off as a calf injury, but
it happens quite a lot that they can be related to lower back
problems. We’re not putting a timescale on it but it’s not a
situation where we’re saying ‘months’ or anything like that,
probably in two or three weeks he should be back. He’ll be back
training in two weeks anyway.”
On Owen
Hargreaves
“He’s doing his training very
well,” Sir Alex says. “I think it’s more a confidence thing for
the lad to come back into real full training with us. He’s doing
quite good work with the physios and football related training,
not in a competitive level at the moment.
“I think that’s being out for a year and two months. We’re of
the mind that we’ll take our time and not rush it, get his
confidence back in that respect." |
