Manchester United set to be injury free

Sir Alex Ferguson expects to have a fully-fit squad on his hands within two weeks. The Manchester United manager was speaking after seeing his side's latest triumph, a 3-1 success over Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Brazilian Anderson returned to the bench following a recent knee issue and, with Tom Cleverley and Antonio Valencia due back within a fortnight, United look set to have a fully-fit squad for a vital part of the season. With other injury victims Chris Smalling and Michael Owen on the brink of a return, Ferguson is brimming at the prospect of having a fully fit playing staff. "The good thing is I'm getting players back," he told MUTV. "Anderson is back now, Cleverley will be fit for next week [against West Brom on Sunday] and Chris Smalling will be back for Thursday [against Athletic Bilbao]. "Valencia should be back for the away trip the week after. If we've got a full squad it gives us a better chance [to win the league]."
