Rio Ferdinand's impending first team return-following Wednesday night's successful Reserves run-out, is a major boost for the Reds squad.
Ryan Giggs says that comebacks for Ferdinand, Anderson and Gary Neville means that, when the rest of the players return from international duty to resume club football with United, the Reds squad may well be at full strength.
United have made a steady start to the season, with comfortable home wins over newcastle and West Ham coming home either side of a hard-fought- if a little profligate 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
"The squad is looking really strong," says Giggs. "We've got Rio to come back in, Nev has'nt played yet, and Anderson is back too. So its looking really good".
United also registered 24 players with the Premier League ahead of the 1 September squad deadline, plus an additional 47 players under the age of 21-although admittedly only the likes of Rafael, Fabio, Smalling, Macheda, Amos, Obertan and Bebe are realistically expected to be regularly involved in the first team this season.
However, there is quality in numbers and that bodes well for the team this season even if it will be a big headache for Sir Alex-better that than having a headache over not having enough players.
Cheers
