THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

From t'fishal site:

"Both Gabby Heinze and Cristiano Ronaldo are back from their breaks," Ferguson told journalists at yesterday's press briefing. "They'll both be added to the squad which will give me more cards to deal with. It's a hectic period and like most clubs with strong squads we'll be using ours. We'll make changes at the right time though. We'll have had an eight-day break [when we play Bolton] since the last game so it's very difficult to make changes straight away. It'll depend on how the lads are who performed last week."

Ronaldo made his debut against Bolton in the corresponding fixture at Old Trafford last season and Ferguson is hoping for a similar performance on Sunday.

'He was fantastic that day, the boy has done exceptionally well for us and will hopefully have benefited from the break.'
