Neville suffers fresh setback
Sir Alex Ferguson will have no further injury worries ahead of Derby County's but he has been hit with a major blow after it was confirmed Gary Neville has suffered another injury setback.
The United skipper has not played in the first team since March after damaging ankle ligaments against Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford.
It had been thought he was close to making his first-team return against AS Roma on Wednesday. But that will not now be the case as United wait anxiously for results from a specialist.
"Unfortunately, Gary has had another setback," the manager confirmed at his Friday press conference. "It's very disappointing.
"He went to see a specialist about his ankle injury on Thursday but we have not had the results back yet."
Sir Alex maintains that Neville's injury problems are not career threatening.
"It is not getting serious," he said. "He just keeps getting niggling injuries. It is a concern that he gets small setbacks every time he gets ready to play. We need to sort it out and get him back as soon as possible." -

Oh man, I saw the news on tv.
Was hopping to see him start for Derby haha, but oh wells. -
to me, he may be history... sadly...
I still love that "bengness" in him to go and pound his chest infront of Pool's fans when we won.. or to "hack" reyes out of the game..
he is invaluable but time is not on his side anymore.
