Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Rio Ferdinand will have a scan on Sunday to determine the extent of the groin injury he sustained in the FA Cup semi-final victory against Watford.

United cruised into next month's Wembley showpiece with a 4-1 success against the Hornets, but Ferdinand was forced to limp out of the action - to Ferguson's concern.

"Hopefully it's not too serious. He'll have a scan on Sunday. It's a groin injury. Hopefully he won't be out for too long," he said.

"We'll know by Sunday evening. He'll have a scan in the morning and we'll get the results in the afternoon.

"It was Ronaldo's 21st goal today and he could go on to score 25, the form he's in.

"Wayne Rooney had his best game of the season today, he was absolutely fantastic. And Alan Smith has brought a breath of fresh life to the team. He is doing fantastically for us.

"It was a fantastic performance. It was as good as Tuesday in terms of the endurance of the team, the courage, accepting the disappointment with Ferdinand being injured when we had to change the team.

"It was absolutely magnificent, I was so proud."
