The Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that he will have the winger Ashley Young fit and ready for the upcoming matches. Manchester United have suffered a lot of injuries problems at the start of this new season, but they have been able to get the results despite these problems.

They are currently top of the Premier league standings after having recently won 3-2 against Chelsea. However, the absence of Ashley Young has been a major headache for the manager, who does not see the Portuguese winger Nani having a future at the club. As a result, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia have occupied the first team spots this season.

Ashley Young has been unavailable for selection since September and his return will be a major boost for Manchester United. Even more significant is the fact that United will be having a number of crucial matches over the next month. Despite this good news, Sir Alex Ferguson still does not know when the defender Chris Smalling will be able to make his comeback from injury. The former Fulham defender has made good progress on the broken metatarsal that he had in the summer, but is not ready for playing yet according to the manager.

“Very few players can cross as well as he can and his goalscoring ratio is very good. It’s always a time when you’re a bit concerned but we’ve been lucky this time,” said Alex Ferguson regarding the situation surrounding Ashley Young and Chris Smalling. United have experienced a lot of problems defensively due to the lack of players like Nemanja Vidic, Chris Smalling, and Phil Jones. Ferguson has had to deal with the fact that only Jonny Evans and Rio Ferdinand have been the two fit central defenders for the club in recent weeks.
