"Fabien won't be fit for Friday at Chelsea but maybe OK for Tuesday against Zalaegerszegi. He is doing his training and we are quite hopeful."

Gary Neville said:

"I'm hopefully going to play in a reserve team game next week, another a week later and maybe then look to be part of the first team. I would hope to be ready for selection in around two or three weeks."

Meanwhile Fergie has no problem with the team's form:

"Last season we started the term against new boys Fulham and we conceded two goals but won 3-2.

"The Press immediately homed in on our defence. I think it is better at this stage this year to be winning 1-0 than 3-2 because if we lose goals then the critics will be saying it is our defence again.

"The goals will come. There'll be no problem about that.

"We are creating chances and that is the main thing. Goals will always follow if you create the opportunities. We made five clear one-versus-ones in the match against West Brom and we had five other good chances.

"The opportunities were there. It was a steady performance and we kept our patience. When we started to gamble we were creating chances all over the place. They'll go in eventually.

"I played three in the centre of midfield because we wanted to make sure we didn't allow them into the game and we controlled possession.

"West Brom will be a difficult side to break down at times this season. They had 27 clean sheets last year and won 12 matches 1-0."
