Manchester United are set to be back to full strength, or thereabouts, for the visit of Chelsea on Sunday. Cristiano Ronaldo was given a run-out towards the end of the surprise 1-0 defeat at Derby County in midweek and the Red Devils were happy with his physical condition, despite a four-day break in his Portuguese homeland.
Now, despite the fact that he his Ferrari was written off after he crashed it in a tunnel on Thursday, he's said to be ready to face the Blues for the crunch clash.Another man set to return to Sir Alex Ferguson's starting line-up is Patrice Evra, who has finished serving a four-game ban.
The belated suspension was imposed upon him for his part in the infamous 'Battle of the Bridge' last term, when he battled with Chelsea ground staff.Thus, the French full-back will have a point to prove after missing the bulk of United's festive actionIt should be a heated affair at Stamford Bridge again, but Evra will have his skipper by his side.
Rio Ferdinand has been rested due to back problems, but has been strongly tipped to replace Jonny Evans at the back. Veteran 'keeper Edwin van der Sar, too, will most likely return, as deputy Tomasz Kuszczak was a tad erratic at Pride Park.source http://www.themanchesterunited.com/article.asp?articleid=43078&Cristiano-Ronaldo-Evra--Rio-Ferdinand-Set-To-Start-For-Manchester-United-Against-Chelsea
