Tom Cleverly Faces Up To A Month On The Sidelines (With Video)

Manchester United's Tom Cleverly faces up to a month on the sidelines after suffering ligament damage in his foot during Saturday's 0-5 win over Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium. The young midfielder was the victim of one of many bruising tackles by Kevin Davies, who was not even cautioned for the challenge. "It was unfortunate," Ferguson told BBC Sport of the injury. "We expected it, it was a bad tackle." Fergie may consider himself lucky though that he left the Reebok with only one player injured, after both Jonny Evans and Patrice Evra were on the end of bad challenges. "Jonny Evans got a knee in the hip and it's a bit tender, Patrice Evra got a knock on the knee," added the Scot.

"When I saw the programme to begin with I thought it would be tough but the boys are coping with it very well," Sir Alex told MUTV. "There are a lot of big games coming up. We've got Chelsea next Sunday and we've got to go to Lisbon on Wednesday which is an important game. Benfica have always been tremendous opponents of ours and it'll be another hard game." Sir Alex also took the time to praise our little Mexican, who scored a brace in the first game of the new Premier League season. "He's a menace to any defender," the Boss said of Chicharito.

Chris Smalling Comes To David De Gea's Defense

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has defended David de Gea after the goalkeeper's errors in the first two matches of the season. West Brom's Shane Long and Manchester City's Edin Dzeko both scored after De Gea was slow to get down to low shots. "Some of the media has been a bit judgmental based on the first couple of games," said Smalling. "He has trained really well this week. You can see his agility and kicking. He will be a great goalkeeper for us." United signed De Gea from Atletico Madrid in June, in a deal thought to be worth £18.9m, after his predecessor Edwin van der Sar retired at the end of last season.

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic will be out for "four to five" weeks with his calf injury, manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed.

Manchester United To Sell Off Stake In Club

Manchester United is to sell off a significant stake in the club in Singapore to partly pay off its gross debts of £515m, the BBC has learnt. BBC sports editor David Bond says it is understood the club has now lodged a listing application with the Singapore Stock Exchange. Our correspondent says it could raise between £400m and £600m for the club. It is understood the club wants to complete the listing by the end of the year. The owners, the Glazer family, removed the Old Trafford club from the London stock market following their successful take over of the Old Trafford club in 2005. A partial share sale, of between 25% and 30%, would also mean that no outside person could take control of the club.

Sneijder Not For Sale, Say Inter Milan

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti remains adamant that Wesley Sneijder will not be going anywhere this summer. The Dutchman has been heavily linked with a switch to Manchester United this summer and claimed last week that 'unofficial' talks had taken place with the Premier League champions. Sir Alex Ferguson had previously tried to dismiss the speculation, while he has also made it clear he has faith in United's young players and is not planning to make further additions to the squad. Moratti maintains there is no chance of Sneijder leaving Inter before the transfer window closes at the end of the month as he is regarded as too important a player to let go. Untouchable Inter have always been determined to keep hold of the midfielder and the fact that Samuel Eto'o could be set for a move elsewhere has only strengthened their resolve. "Sneijder away? For Wes there has never been any sort of negotiation," Moratti told La Gazzetta dello Sport. ...

Rio Ferdinand Asks Young Reds To Rise To The Challenge

Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United's young players need to get into the routine of winning trophies to create a dynasty. The former England captain was forced off in the opening day win against West Brom with a calf injury. His defensive partner Nemanja Vidic also picked up a knock and the cornerstones of the United defence are now facing spells on the sidelines. Yet, Sir Alex Ferguson will draw strength from the fact he can call on the talents of Phil Jones, Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling. Seven of United's aspiring young players finished the game against West Brom, and as a new era gets ushered in at Old Trafford, Ferdinand insists they must embrace United's winning culture. "Getting that continuity, that smell and taste of success is something that all the young guys who have come into the squad and not won anything yet need to feel." Continuity "Getting that continuity, that smell and taste of success is something that all the young gu...

Ferdinand, Vidic And Rafael da Silva Out Due To Injuries

Manchester United have suffered a triple injury blow with defenders Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Rafael da Silva set for spells on the sidelines. Ferdinand will be out for six weeks after being substituted with a hamstring injury during Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win over West Brom. Vidic, who like Ferdinand was replaced during the game, is set to miss the next fortnight with a calf injury. Rafael faces about 10 weeks out with a dislocated shoulder. He appeared as a substitute in the 3-2 Community Shield win over Manchester City last weekend but sustained the injury in training. Ferdinand's problem means he will be sidelined until the start of October and will miss England's upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales.

Manchester United Consider Partial Asian Flotation

Manchester United's owners, the Glazer family, are considering a share sale in Singapore to help raise money to reduce some of their debts. The BBC's sports editor David Bond says an initial public offering (IPO) is one of a number of refinancing options the American family is examining. But, he says, they are only considering selling a minority stake - perhaps no more than 25%. If successful, such a move could raise £400m ($657m). The Old Trafford club was listed on the London stock market until it was taken over by the Glazers in 2005. Small sale, big move A partial sale share would mean that no outside person could take control of the club.
