Rio could face Blades
Rio Ferdinand could be back in action against Sheffield United despite limping out of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final victory with a groin injury.
The Reds' defender aggravated the knock he picked up against AS Roma last week, but Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that he is in with a chance of facing Neil Warnock's men.
Ferdinand was replaced in the 40th minute by Darren Fletcher against Watford, who made the unlikely move to right back. With Fletcher's introduction, Evra switched to his favoured left back position, while Gabriel Heinze moved into the centre to partner Wes Brown.
Ferdinand joins fellow defenders Gary Neville (ankle), Mikael Silvestre (shoulder), John O'Shea (calf) and Nemanja Vidic (shoulder) on the treatment table, although O'Shea and Neville are both expected to return soon.
The boss does have youngster Craig Cathcart available, who was recently given the No.32 squad number. The 18-year-old is likely to keep his place on the bench against Neil Warnock's side.

Nev most likely back for the Milan game or after

certainly hope to have Nev and Rio back soon, especially for the Milan match. I'm not under estimating Sheffield United but I think we'll be ok against them with the defenders we do have available.

The one injured player I really want to get back is Vidic. Dont get me wrong Brown is a good player but hes no Vidic. I feel way more confident when hes back there and hes also a threat in the other teams box.

The best thing is that our attack has been so great it takes a bit of pressure off of the defense but we can't rely on that when facing teams that are just as quick on the attack. |

With Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic and Mikael Silvestre ruled out, Ferguson feels it will be a big boost to have Ferdinand and O'Shea back in his plans.
"Rio and John will be back on Saturday, so that should give us a bit more strength and experience in the back line," said Ferguson.
"We ended up with two full-backs who are midfield players.
"It was a great challenge for them, but they came through it well."

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Nemanja Vidic, Gary Neville and Louis Saha are all making good progress with their recovery from injury, while Patrice Evra should be fit to face Middlesbrough on Saturday.
The French left-back hobbled out of Tuesday's 2-0 win over Sheffield United with a calf complaint after a heavy tackle by Colin Kazim-Richards in the 21st minute.
Sir Alex says Evra has responded to treatment and will be available for the Teessiders' visit, as will John O'Shea (calf) and Rio Ferdinand (groin).
Elsewhere on the injury front, the United boss is hoping to have Neville (ankle) available for United's trip to Everton on Saturday week, while Vidic (collarbone) has a chance of returning to action in two weeks time.
Sir Alex hasn't put an exact date on Saha's possible return from a hamstring strain, but the boss insists things are looking much more positive.
"The situation is getting better," he told Manchester United Radio. "John O'Shea and Rio are back for Saturday and I think Patrice Evra will also be okay.
"Gary won't be ready for Middlesbrough or Milan but will hopefully be back for the Everton match. Vidic has beentraining and he could be ready in two weeks, while Louis Saha is starting to progress a bit now."

From Teamtalk:
Fergie boosted by injury news
Sir Alex Ferguson has received good news on the defensive front ahead of Manchester United's Old Trafford clash with Middlesbrough.
Rio Ferdinand, John O'Shea and Patrice Evra are all fit after minor knocks, with at least two of the returning men expected to win starting berths.
Park Ji-Sung (knee) is still out, along with Louis Saha (hamstring) and Nemanja Vidic (collar bone), although the Serbian is expected to return to training on Monday.
Ferguson told United's official website: "Vidic is coming along very, very well, and he starts training on Monday.
"He's been doing some physical work in the gym but on Monday he'll start some serious work and hopefully that brings him to possibly being available for the latter games.
"Gary Neville is progressing quite well, there's a chance he'll be ready for Everton. We'll make a decision on Park next week. We've seen the specialist and hopefully we can get an opinion on what the next stage should be.
"Louis Saha is continuing his progress with the physios but I don't think he'll be fit for this week."
United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Brown, Heinze, Evra, Fletcher, Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Richardson, Rooney, Smith, Solskjaer, Cathcart.
Fantastic news!! Vidic. What can you say? Indestructible....

Nemanja Vidic headlines the better news from the treatment room as United prepare to face Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Although the Serbian defender will not be fit to face Boro, his boss believes he could be available for the final few fixtures, including the FA Cup final against Chelsea on 19 May.
"Vidic is coming along very, very well and he starts training on Monday," said Sir Alex at his pre-Middlesbrough press conference.
"He's been doing some physical work in the gym but on Monday he'll start some serious work and hopefully that brings him to possibly being available for the latter games.
"We've got Rio Ferdinand, John O'Shea and Patrice Evra fit for tomorrow which gives us a far healthier look.
"Gary Neville is progressing quite well, there's a chance he'll be ready for Everton.
"We'll make a decision on Ji-sung Park next week. We've seen the specialist and hopefully we can get an opinion on what the next stage should be. Louis Saha's continuing his progress with the physios but I don't think he'll be fit this week."
