Neville returns in reserves match
Manchester United defender Gary Neville has made his long-awaited comeback from injury, playing for nearly an hour for the club's reserves on Thursday.
The right-back, 32, suffered an ankle injury in March while muscle strains have delayed his return this season.
Neville was booked and scored an own goal as United beat Stockport 6-1 in the Manchester Senior Cup.
Given United play Arsenal on Saturday just after midday it seems doubtful Neville will feature in that game.
But the United defender may make the bench for next week's Champions League game against Dynamo Kiev.
Ferguson doubts Mourinho return
Sir Alex Ferguson has cast doubt on whether Jose Mourinho will return to management in England.
The Manchester United boss has been in touch with the Portuguese since his shock exit from Chelsea and believes his next job will be on the continent.
"I don't know if he will come back into the English game," he told the League Managers Association website.
"I think Jose will end up at a top team in Spain or Italy, I'm almost certain of that."
After admitting they had been in touch a "couple of times" since Mourinho's surprise departure in mid-September, the 65-year-old Scot speculated on his former rival's immediate future.
"There certainly is no-one on the radar at the moment obviously, he's taking a break and I think he's aiming to come back fresh," said Ferguson.
"I don't think there's any problem about him coming back into management, I think it's where he comes back in and I don't think anyone has any clues to that at this moment in time."
