Manchester United Vs Blackburn Rovers

Sir Alex will travel to Ewood Park on Saturday with an almost fully fit squad at his disposal. He did concede, however, that he may rest Edwin van der Sar against Blackburn. The Reds need just one point to seal a record 19th English league title and the boss says there are “no new injuries” in the United camp.

Javier Hernandez, on the other hand, is still fresh, despite speculation in the press recently that the Mexican striker was in danger of suffering fatigue. Hernandez barely got a rest last summer after featuring in the World Cup and then joining United’s pre-season tour shortly afterwards. This summer he also has international commitments, at the Gold Cup in the United States.

“There’s no suggestion that there’s any tiredness with Hernandez,” the manager said. “We’ll keep monitoring it. If we get the result tomorrow he’ll get his rest next Sunday. If we don’t then he’ll play next Sunday.

“There are opportunities to rest him in the early part of next season. We’ll give him a good rest after the Gold Cup.”
