IF HE STAYS FIT

Ferguson thinks that Louis Saha can score plenty of goals for United. No doubt that vote of confidence will cause another injury.

"We've had different combinations up front without Ruud before which have worked - and before the AC Milan tie we had a front three of Rooney, Giggs and Ronaldo," said Ferguson.

"They did fantastically well and scored four at Highbury, and that type of thing. So there are goals in there all right.

"We'll be helped this year by the fact that Rooney and Ronaldo are getting older. At 20 years of age, Rooney is only going to mature. He will score goals, the boy is a fantastic player.

"There's no question about Louis Saha and the key with him is that he stays fit.

"He's had an unfortunate time since arriving here that way, but his goals-to-game ratio is very good. If Paul Scholes also stays fit, then excellent!"
