Fergie has strong United hand

24 Oct 2008 - 14:55:16

Sir Alex Ferguson has virtually a fully-fit Manchester United squad at his disposal for the Saturday lunchtime trip to Everton.

The United boss has revealed that both Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand, who missed the midweek Champions League win over Celtic, have recovered from hamstring an groin problems.

Meanwhile, striker Dimitar Berbatov has been passed fit for the trip to Goodison Park despite picking up a slight knock after scoring twice against the Scottish champions in a 3-0 success.

England midfielder Michael Carrick has also taken part in full training this week but is more likely to make his comeback from an ankle problem against West Ham United next Wednesday.

"Michael's trained all week," revealed Ferguson. "He'll be available to face West Ham on Wednesday.

"It's good he's back. It's good to have a good, strong squad. It's a case of picking the right team.

"Tuesday's performance against Celtic did us a lot of good. The form of the team has now come together and we're playing some good football at both ends of the pitch.

"We're defending well and our attacking impetus has improved. I'm very pleased with the form of the team."

Elsewhere, goalkeeper Ben Foster has admitted he may have to leave Old Trafford on loan in a bid to resurrect his career with the champions.

The England international has made just one appearance for United during the past two seasons following a series of serious knee and ankle problems.

"I want to be playing football, that's the main thing for me," Foster told the Manchester Evening News.

"As a goalkeeper at my age now, that's when I need to be kicking on. I need to get more games under my belt.

"I'm not sure what the gaffer is thinking. If he wants to send me out on loan, it's up to him, but I want to kick on from here."
