Subject:(Teamtalk) Team news - Fitness race on
It's head count time for Alex Ferguson once again as his players return from
international duty ahead of Saturday's important game against Aston Villa at Old
Trafford.
The boss seems certain to make changes from Sunday's line-up against Leeds and
will have more players at his disposal. Ronny Johnsen is set to return to the back
four and could be joined by his partner at international level Henning Berg, who is
close to playing again after being out of action for almost a month with a knee
ligament injury.
Jaap Stam is still under treatment for the ankle/Achilles injury which forced him to
withdraw from last Sunday's line-up, and Ferguson will check on his progress
tomorrow.
Earlier in the week Fergie said Stam looked likely to
miss the Villa game but would be back in action for
Wednesday's trip to Liverpool.
Wes Brown, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt arrived back
this morning after playing in England's 1-1 draw with
Hungary in Budapest, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made
the longer journey from Tbilisi where he was on duty
for Norway.
Solskjaer was one of Norway's scorers in the 4-1 win
over Georgia which puts them on top of Group Two in the
Euro 2000 tables.
He is now not expected to be involved against Aston
Villa, despite the injury scare following his half-time
substitution for Norway appearing to have been a
precaution.
Ryan Giggs is another who could step back into the
limelight on Saturday having missed the last three
games - including the Champions' League semi-final
against Juventus, because of an ankle injury.
Paul Scholes, Andy Cole and Denis Irwin who have all
been in the treatment room this week, should be given
the all clear by tomorrow.
Jesper Blomqvist completed his first full 90 minutes
for a long time as Sweden lost 2-0 in Dublin,
signalling a return to full fitness for the winger.
Peter Schmeichel was said to be in excellent form for
Denmark as they were bombarded by South Africa in a 1-1
draw.
Roy Keane will complete a well earned full week's rest
on Saturday when he sits out the Villa game through
suspension.

Subject: BROWN SIGNS FIVE-YEAR DEAL
Manchester United defender Wes Brown has been rewarded with a new five-year
contract for his remarkable season for club and country.
United began talks with Brown some months ago after he won a regular place
in the first-team squad and the 20-year-old has finally put pen to paper on
a new deal.
The agreement caps a remarkable season for Brown, who is being hailed as
the new Paul McGrath.
As well as rising through the ranks at Old Trafford, he has enjoyed rapid
promotion with England.
He played for England in last summer's European Under-18s Championships in
Cyprus before becoming a regular with the Under-21s this season.
Last night England coach Kevin Keegan handed him his first senior cap in
the 1-1 draw against Hungary at Budapest.
Subject: Plane drama for Solskjaer ««
Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the Norwegian squad were
caught up in some worrying runway drama as their plane attempted to take
off from Tbilisi yesterday.
The Norwegians' celebrations after their 4-1 win over Georgia were dampened
when an electrical problem caused aeroplane fuel to gush out over the wings
and onto some of the players luggage waiting to be loaded.
Many of the players, including Solskjaer, checked their fuel-soaked baggage
for damage before reboarding and flying back after a lengthy delay.
Solskjaer suffered a knock to his knee in the first half of the match and
asked to be substituted at the break with his name already on the
scoresheet and his side 4-0 up.
He later said: "It's not very popular to come back with an injury."

Subject: UNITED TRIO IN FIFA SQUAD
French World Cup hero Zinedine Zidane and Manchester United trio David
Beckham, Dwight Yorke and Ryan Giggs head a FIFA All Stars squad to play
Australia to officially open the new Olympic stadium in Sydney on June 12.
FIFA has announced a 32-man provisional squad, to be reduced to a final 18
in mid-May.
Australian fans can also anticipate seeing three members of France's 1998
World Cup winning team - Inter Milan midfielder Youri Djorkaeff, Chelsea
defender Marcel Desailly and French captain Laurent Blanc.
Argentinian striker Gabriel Batistuta's appearance will invoke local
memories when the Socceroos went down to the South Americans 2-1 on
aggregate in World Cup home and away qualifiers in 1993.
The expected 100,000 sell-out crowd will see their overseas-based heroes,
Mark Bosnich, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Tony Vidmar, Ned Zelic and Paul
Okon in opposition to many of the world's leading players.

Subject: FERGIE SEEKS EDWARDS SUMMIT
Alex Ferguson is urgently seeking a top-level summit
with chairman Martin Edwards to discover his true
spending power this summer.
The Manchester United manager's main thoughts are
on chasing that historic Premiership, FA Cup and
European Cup treble.
But Ferguson is well advanced on planning for next
season when increased demands at home and abroad
will stretch his superstar squad to even greater limits.
He needs to know now precisely what funds are
available following last summer's ?28million splash on
Dwight Yorke, Jaap Stam and Jesper Blomqvist.
Ferguson has read, just like the fans, that Edwards
has announced that money will be tight after a
?72million investment in new players, ground
expansion and the building of a state-of-the-art training
complex.
Edwards has even gone public to reveal that the
?6million needed to buy a replacement for keeper
Peter Schmeichel would be the limit of Ferguson's
budget.
United's chief powerbroker argues that after
committing the club to huge investments the money
well has run dry.
Edwards confirms: "We can't spend money we haven't
got and we are not going to spend money we haven't
got.
"I wouldn't view it as standing still if we don't spend big
money."
That line has been drawn despite United being
guaranteed ?10m for reaching the European Cup Final
with a further ?3.5m if they win it.
But Edwards, admits that a ?5million chunk of that
booty has already been earmarked for players'
bonuses with big money up for grabs at every stage of
the treble.
There is widespread speculation that other members
of the plc are pushing for the release of a larger
transfer fund.
But Edwards is sticking to his guns and laying it on the
line that if new players come in then others will have to
go out. Ferguson will press for boardroom talks before
the end of the season to hear from the chairman
himself if the freeze is in force.
Ferguson can save transfer cash if Mark Bosnich is
signed on a free. But if Ajax keeper Edwin van der Sar
is his man then Edwards' ?6million pot will vanish in
one swoop. It is understood that Ferguson's rebuilding
plans go well beyond his No.1 position anyway.
Ferguson says: "I need to find out exactly how much
money we have available.
"Obviously the first move is a keeper. We are not close
to signing anyone at the moment. We have a couple
we are thinking about. I still haven't made up my mind,
though."
