Ferguson and Rooney are out! Ferguson misses his third game as per the FA conditions while Wayne begins his two match ban this evening. Hopefully no one gets injured in training or at warm-up before the game tonight.
We have been finding some good form of late and as cheesy as this may sound, some belief in our ability to churn out results even when we're not playing to the capacity that we are capable of.
No doubt Ferguson will have a better view on proceedings from the stands and it will kind of be like playing on FIFA 11 for him. So, banning him as actually helped his cause rather than diminish our chances of silverware this season.
Fulham come to Old Trafford with two wins in their last 3 games and should be relishing the prospect of playing United without a certain Wayne Rooney and Alex Ferguson. That will give them the impetus they need to get something out of this game. They aren't in any danger being in tenth position and are certainly not fighting the relegation battle given that there are only eight points separating the second half of the table. Mark Hughes, a former United legend himself, will be upbeat but he might have to do a little more to break down the reds defense especially if Ferdinand and Vidic start for the hosts. Chris Smalling would love to be on that pitch as well given that he only moved from the Cottagers nine months ago while another former Fulham stopper will hope to put his calf strain that he picked up in mid week against Chelsea to help United's cause for a 19th Premier League Title.
