Antonio Valencia back in the United squad for the trip to Athletic Bilbao. Anderson, Nani and Phil Jones are not in the squad through injury.

United travelling squad: Amos, De Gea; Evans, Evra, Fabio, Ferdinand, Rafael, Smalling; Carrick, Cleverley, Giggs, Park, Pogba, Scholes, Young, Valencia; Berbatov, Hernandez, Rooney, Welbeck.

Say what you want but i was completly right all those times i complained about how Fergie has let this United team slip that was ****ING EMBARRASING

Tonight and last week was the best possible thing to happen to us in 4 years. Fergie can no longer refuse to sort the problems out and i expect big signings in the summer

I would also like to add Pogba showed by technical ability and class in his 20 min spell than any midfielder of ours has shown in 4 years.

The boy deserves a start vs Wolves no more excuses

MUFC team vs Wolves (18/03/12) - De Gea, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Welbeck, Hernández, Rooney

Tony V is back:D. Not sure about Welbeck being on the wing again though!

MUFC Bench: Amos, Giggs, Smalling, Park, Young, Fabio, Pogba.

No Cleverley? He must be injured again I am presuming.

No Berbatov on the bench, he has been treated awful by the club this season and no wonder he wants to leave now.

5-0, what a win:D. Antonio Valencia, Jonny Evans and Michael Carrick all played well in the first half.

Glad that Evans scored his first United goal and that Tony V got a goal on his return, Wolves defending on some of the goals was terrible. Chicharito had a free header on one of his two goals and Welbeck chipped in with the scoring too.

Sky giving Rooney MOTM? His passing was frutrating at times and he wanted to score but his form improved, although he did not score and the most important thing was that we won and got those 3 points:).

Pogba, Smalling and Fabio came on as subs too!

Pogba is exactly the player we need his passing is so fluent and smooth and he stays in his area of the pitch

Tony v and Evans were orgasmic today

The Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has confirmed he is on course for a return to action at the start of next season.

Vidic ruptured his cruciate ligament during December's Champions League defeat to Basel. The 30-year-old was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, and although there were suggestions he may be back sooner, in a webchat with the United website he said his target was pre-season training.

"My recovery is going well," he said. "Obviously the projection was I would be ready for the next season. I am on schedule and will hopefully start training again in July."

Vidic has been confined to gym work during the early weeks of his rehabilitation, although that will be stepped up as the months go on.

In the meantime, the Serb has been reduced to a watching brief as United compete for a record 20th Premier League title. Although Patrick Vieira has cast doubt on United's credentials, Vidic does not share his view.

He may be wary of saying any games are easier than others, but because of United's fixtures on the run-in he feels they deserve to be favourites. "I've had the belief from the beginning, and if you look at the schedule of the games we have left to play I would like to say we are the favourites," he said.

"We still have to win the nine games and need to be focused. We believed from the beginning and have the confidence but we have nine Champions League final games now I would say. It's all in our hands. We have to focus and give our best. All the players are ready to perform which is a good sign and a positive thing for the nine games ahead."

Vidic has been heartened by recent performances as United have opened up a four-point lead at the top of the table, ahead of Manchester City's key encounter with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium this evening.

While he accepts Wayne Rooney's 20-goal contribution to United's league campaign has been crucial, Vidic feels Antonio Valencia has been the key man. "He's a great player to play with," he said. "First of all he's a team player who works hard for the team and makes a difference up front. He's done it so many times this season and it seems like he's made a step up and improved. I would say he is our best player this season.

"There are one or two others, like Wazza's had a great season and has scored a lot of goals. But Antonio has done really well. It's important he's fit and plays all the games because we need him at this time of the season."

Good to hear from Nemanja Vidic, looking forward to seeing him back for us next season:):devil:.

Tom Cleverley, Paul Pogba, Fabio, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Richie De Laet all featuring for the United reserves vs Aston Villa tonight.

Fergie responds back to Patrick Vieira's comments RE Paul Scholes, talks about Morrison/Pogba situations and criticises Man City/Tevez.

Good that City dropped points at Stoke, but now hopefully United will win tomorrow and crank up the pressure some more:).

James Ducker ‏ @DuckerTheTimes

Fergie on Pogba contract talks: "It’s getting a bit more positive. Hopefully something will happen soon." #MUFC

Hopefully the kid will see sense and stay.

Press also say that no talks been planned yet but the club want to discuss a new deal with Rio Ferdinand and he wants the same thing too:).

Manchester United team to play Fulham at Old Trafford:

De Gea, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Rafael, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney, Young, Welbeck.

Bench: Amos, Jones, Berbatov, Smalling, Hernandez, Scholes, Cleverley.

Dire performance, glad United won to go 3 points clear at the top. We were sloppy in possession and I was getting nervous.

A few players disappointed me yesterday but Rafael/Valencia linked up well and I was pleased that Jonny Evans played good and got an assist for Rooney's goal.

Giggs ready for Rovers

Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United will face a fired-up Blackburn Rovers in Monday night's showdown at Ewood Park.

The Reds will be backed by a sizeable and vocal travelling army of fans but the larger-than-usual allocation of away tickets seems to have also inspired the home supporters in the past. United have won only two times in the last 11 league visits to the Lancashire ground, although the point secured last season clinched the 19th title.

"It’s always been a tough place to go for us," Giggs told ManUtd.com. "It’s like a mini-local derby. We always take good numbers there but that just seems to lift the Blackburn fans, who are always up for it.

"On a few occasions down the years we’ve not played very well there and we’ve had one or two players sent off at Ewood Park as well. It’s just been a tricky place to go, although we do have good memories of going there from last season when we won the league at Blackburn.

"It’s important we go there to try and get a good result but I don’t think this fixture will have the same sort of impact on the title race as it has in the last two seasons. There are still too many points at stake. Even if we lose at Blackburn, there will be another 21 points to be won. I can see it going right down to the wire."
