United's Reserves will be aiming for a fifth straight victory when Sunderland visit the Victoria Stadium on Thursday evening, but they will have to do so without club captain Gary Neville.
The Reds' skipper had been expected to continue his return from injury against the Reserve League leaders, but he has not taken a place in Brian McClair and Jim Ryan's squad. A club spokesperson told ManUtd.com: "Gary has been training with the first team and will to continue with that as opposed to playing with the Reserves." The Reds' second string have posted successive victories over Stockport, Middlesbrough, Wigan and Bury, and have a strong squad ready for the Black Cats' visit. Danny Simpson and Jonny Evans bolster the Reds' backline, Chris Eagles returns to the midfield and Dong Fangzhuo is expected to start upfront after bagging four goals in as many games, with either Chris Fagan or Febian Brandy alongside him. The visitors will include experienced stars David Connolly and Graham Kavanagh among a host of youngsters as they look to build on their one point lead at the top of the table. United squad: Heaton, Simpson, R Eckersley, J Evans, Chester, Lee, Eagles, Hewson, Brandy, Dong, Barnes, S Evans, Zieler, Cleverley, Fagan. http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={B4CEE8FA-9A47-47BC-B069-3F7A2F35DB70}&newsid=511573 |

rio ferdinand ticks all the boxes as captain at the minute.
-he is a one of the best in his position in the world, -respected by all the young players and i remember rooney saying that rio and him took tevez to dinner when he first joined etc -he is experianced and nearing his peak -his captaincy for about 3/4 years will mean that rooney will be perfect to be captain by this time(rooney is far too young to be captain now) -we have no other leader on ths pitch (rio is the most vocal of all our players imo-ask vds-) -giggs and neville are never captains.despite the fact gary neville is injured he isnt a captain anyway. |

Considering he's played first team footie for over a decade for United, the number of appearances isn't that impressive. But only in that context - Of course, to play over 400 games for United is an acheivement to be proud of. I say this before I get my face bitten off. Back on point - There is genuine cause to be concerned, as long as it doesn't get to mass hysteria levels. |

Yeah, that's much better TBH, thats a bit surprising. I've always considered him slow to come back from injury. Wasn't he out almost 6 months with a metatarsal before they became fashionable ? |

You're right there, he took a while. And your broader point is right; that there is genuine cause for concern. Either the player's body is slowing to keep up or the medics have been repeatedly stumped by the injury. I suppose they could have misdiagnosed as people on here and in RI like to suggest but I would imagine the docs at one of the world's top professional football clubs are fairly competent. |

thanks Gary it's been great and all that, and you have been a fantastic servant to the club....but Ferdinand should be captain now
despite Fergie's denials tomorrow there is not even an estimate of when Neville will be fit again until january let Simpson play there then sign a right-back |
