Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to freshen up his Manchester United starting line-up for Sunday's trip to Arsenal.

Sir Alex Ferguson says he is pleased Nemanja Vidic only suffered a bruised cheek from Manchester United's draw with West Ham at Upton Park.

Sir Alex Ferguson, in his weekly press conference, gave the welcome news that Jonny Evans was fit to face Stoke City on Sunday, while Nemanja Vidic and Chris Smalling both have outside chances of making the team. It is expected that at least one of them will make the squad for the always bruising encounter at the Britannia. "Jonny Evans has trained this week, which is better news than we had building up to Monday's game. Ashley Young is out - he got a sore whack on his ankle and is maybe out for two weeks. Other than that, we're in good shape in terms of player availability." This me...

Full coverage of your Manchester derby needs. In a dramatic turn of events, both Manchester United and Manchester City's skippers provided their views on the Derby game on Monday. I've always liked Vincent Kompany, especially since it's wicked that he spells it with a K - I've found him to be quite similar to Nemanja Vidic with his no-nonsense tackling, leadership and aerial prowess.

The first half was a drag, but the second half was a joy to watch as United's pressure eventually told on Reading. Goals from Nani and Javier Hernandez were enough to ensure the victory, although Reading captain Jobi McAnuff pulled a goal back after Nemanja Vidic was dragged out of position after having to cover for Alexander Buttner.
