Sir Alex Ferguson fears for Manchester United's World Cup players
• United manager says Ferdinand, Rooney and co will need rest
• Ferguson to oversee review of injury-plagued season



Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and several other Manchester United players will miss the start of the season because of their involvement in the World Cup and said there will be a review at Old Trafford to investigate why the club has suffered so many injuries over the last year.

Ferguson is so alarmed by the injury record that he has held a series of meetings with the club's medical staff, their conclusion being that several players, Rooney included, are being overworked because of the gruelling demands of combining domestic football with representing their countries. "The big area of concern for us is that we had 16 players who missed more than six weeks through injury," Ferguson said, reflecting on the season just gone and United relinquishing the Premier League title to Chelsea. "We have been looking for the reasons for that ever since the season ended."

His decision is that those members of the squad returning from South Africa this summer – United could have eight players involved, including three-quarters of their usual defence in Ferdinand, Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic – will be given almost a month to recover before even starting their pre-season training.

"The World Cup will be draining for all the players involved," Ferguson said. "It is the biggest tournament of their lives and we will be giving all of the players who are involved a 28-day rest after the last game. We will begin the season without them. That is the plan."

That means in theory that, if England were to reach the final, on 11 July, the players would not be expected to start their training for the new campaign until 8 August, the day the 2010-11 season begins with the Community Shield against Chelsea at Wembley. From that point it may be three weeks before they are considered ready to play, possibly even longer for Ferdinand considering his long-standing back issues, a problem he has been told could flare up at any time.

Ferguson will also be mindful not to rush back Rooney, bearing in mind what happened when he did that towards the end of the season, the striker re-aggravating an ankle injury and then damaging the abductor muscle at the top of his leg.

Ferguson, speaking on the Fan 590 radio station in Toronto while promoting the club's pre-season tour to Canada, the United States and Mexico, went on to reiterate that there were no plans to offload Dimitar Berbatov after a season in which the Bulgarian's form has divided opinion among supporters. "We definitely won't sell Berbatov," he said. "He will be with us next year."

Of possible incomings the United manager argued that the Glazer family were being unfairly accused of not making money available for him in the transfer market. "They have been great owners and there's no reason to think otherwise. They have supported me every time I have asked them and we have already spent £20m on young players. Chris Smalling cost us £10m, [Mame Biram] Diouf was £4m and the Mexican [Javier Hernández] was more than £6m. Because we are not signing signature players people think we are not moving forward – but we are."

Many supporters would dispute this after five years in which the Glazers are calculated to have lost the club £437m in interest payments and other fees but Ferguson said the Florida-based family were running United in a sensible way by not following the pay structure at clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester City.

"There must be concern about the level of salaries in the game," he said. "There's a lot of greed, particularly when owners have come in from Russia, America and the Middle East and there's a need for them to do well. Salary caps are not going to come into their domain; it doesn't enter their thinking."

Four Reds feature at Wembley
-manutd.com-



Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick helped England to victory on Monday night, against a Mexico team featuring a future United team-mate.

Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez came on at the start of the second half at Wembley, replacing his side's goalscorer Franco, and was just feeling his way into the match when Glen Johnson made it 3-1 to the hosts. Despite this early blow, the young Mexican looked fairly lively in attack, firing one shot just wide and almost connecting with a dangerous low ball across the England box. Chicharito will no doubt be itching to get back on English soil in August - if United successfully gain his work permit. In the meantime, he could meet another Red, Patrice Evra, when Mexico face France in the World Cup.

Unfortunately Ferdinand didn't get the chance to see Chicharito at close quarters, as the England skipper came off at the break to allow Liverpool's Jamie Carragher a run-out. Carrick relinquished his midfield anchor role in the 62nd minute, making way for Tottenham's Tom Huddlestone, but Rooney played the full 90 minutes to the relief of coach Fabio Capello. England's first-half goals came from two other Tottenham players - Ledley King, who started alongside Ferdinand at centre-back, and Peter Crouch.

Nani was also on international duty on Monday night, as Portugal were held to a shock 0-0 draw by Cape Verde Islands, ranked 117th in the world. The United winger was booked for a foul early in the second half but played the full game.

Ji-sung Park fared better, scoring in the 6th minute of Korea Republic's 2-0 win in Japan.

Peringkat Pemain MU di Piala Dunia
Toto Pribadi



VIVAnews - Tak mengherankan jika klub sebesar Manchester United akan menjadi pemasok pemain tim nasional terbanyak di Piala Dunia nanti. Nama besar Iblis Merah tentu menjadi jaminan semua pemain terbaik di dunia berkumpul.

Nah, tentu menarik menyimak sederet bintang Iblis Merah yang berhasil dikumpulkan Sir Alex Ferguson akan berjibaku di bawah bendera negara masing-masing.

Berikut ini daftar peringkat pemain MU yang akan tampil di Piala Dunia 2010 versi Bleacher Report:

7. Michael Carrick

Michael Carrick mungkin menjadi pemain reguler dalam tim Sir Alex Ferguson. Namun di tim Inggris, Carrick sepertinya harus bekerja keras bersaing dengan beberapa nama besar lain semacam Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Gareth Barry (Manchester City) dan James Milner (Aston Villa). Kecilnya peluang Carrick masuk skuad inti The Three Lions tentu pantas menjadikannya berada di peringkat terbawah pemain MU di tim nasional.

6. Rio Ferdinand

Kapten tim Inggris ini menjadi salah satu sosok yang membuat Fabio Capello merasa nyaman. Rio akan menjadi tandem paten bagi John Terry (Chelsea) di Piala Dunia nanti. Sayangnya yang membuat minus nilai Rio adalah cedera yang melilitnya, yang membuat penampilannya kurang sempurna di MU.

5. Nemanja Vidic

Sukses Serbia melenggang ke Afrika Selatan tentu tak lepas dari pertahanan kokoh negara Balkan itu. Dan itu karena keberadaan seorang Nemanja Vidic. Namun seperti tandemnya, Rio Ferdinand, kiprah Vidic juga kerap terganjal cedera musim ini. Namun tak bisa disangkal, Vidic merupakan salah satu bek terbaik di planet ini.

4. Luis Nani

Portugal memang punya Cristiano Ronaldo. Dan tugas berat kini diemban Nani untuk bisa lepas dari bayang-bayang Ronaldo. Namun Nani bisa menjadi solusi jika Ronaldo tak menunjukkan performa terbaiknya. Hal itu juga diperlihatkan Nani saat mereka melewati hadangan Bosnia Herzegovina di babak playoff lalu dengan memborong gol Portugal.

3. Park Ji-sung

Gelandang MU ini akan menjadi tulang punggung Korea Selatan di Afrika Selatan nanti. Namanya mungkin tak setenar Wayne Rooney. Namun fakta jika Park Ji-sung menjadi bagian penting Ferguson tentu tak bisa diremehkan.

2. Patrice Evra

Prancis memang pantas difavoritkan di Grup A. Bertabur pemain bintang menjadi alasannya. Les Bleus punya bek sayap kiri terbaik bernama Patrice Evra. Perpaduan kecepatan dan pertahanan yang rapat menempatkan Evra sebagai runner up.

1. Wayne Rooney

Tak diragukan lagi jika pemilik peringkat teratas pemain MU di Afrika Selatan nanti pantas menjadi milik Rooney. Wazza sangat tampil fenomenal bersama MU musim ini meski terganggu cedera di akhir musim. Torehan 34 gol di semua kompetisi menjadi bukti jika Rooney layak diandalkan MU dan the Three Lions.

Evra Bakal Kapteni Prancis


Patrice Evra diperkirakan akan menjadi kapten Prancis selama perhelatan Piala Dunia 2010.

Indikasi itu menguat setelah Thierry Henry, yang menjadi kapten Les Bleus sejak beberapa tahun lalu, tak lagi mendapat tempat di tim utama Raymond Domenech.

Evra sendiri sudah menjalankan peran barunya itu kala mengantar Prancis menang 2-1 atas Kosta Rika di laga ujicoba beberapa waktu lalu.

"Saya sangat bangga menjadi kapten. Dengan bakat anda bisa memenangi pertandingan, tapi Anda hanya bisa memenangi turnamen dengan tim yang hebat," tandasnya seperti dikutp Soccernet.

Terpilihnya Evra sebagai kapten Prancis juga mendapat dukungan dari Jeremy Toulalan.

"Dia adalam mood yang bagus dan memiliki keinginan untuk menyatukan siapa saja," paparnya.
