Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he expects Ole Gunnar Solkjaer to return from
injury next season. God let's hope he is right. Speaking to Manchester United
Radio he said:

"It is a long road to recovery but we are all hoping and praying for him. He is a
fantastic player and I am sure he will be back.

"Ole is coming along fine at the moment. He is doing a tremendous amount of
work and that kind of dedication will give him a big chance.

"He also has a terrific temperament for coping with this type of thing.

"It is a frustrating situation for any player, particular one in their 30s and some
players do worry when they are placed in his position.

"But Ole is very clear about where he is going. He is not letting himself suffer any kind of mental problem and that is bound to help him."
