Defending Champions Manchester United to play Aalborg tonight

Manchester United are in Denmark for their champions league encounter against the Danish champions Aalborg. The UEFA titleholders will hope to kick start their European campaign after managing only one point from their previous game against Villareal.

The Reds are without midfielder Michael Carrick and defender Gary Neville who both have injuries. But Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the starting line up.

Aalborg go into the match as massive underdogs however, Fergie refuses to take anything for granted and underestimate the Danish champions who drew goalless against Celtic a fortnight ago.

The Danish have home advantage and their supporters are expected to turn out in great numbers and fill the stadium. Bad memories recall that Manchester United lost 1 – 0 to Copenhagen in their last trip to Denmark.

Ferguson has concerns as regards to which striker should be dropped to the bench and which one should be in the starting line up. Berbatov looks more likely to be benched following his poor start in his dream club Manchester.

Whatever team Ferguson picks up, the coach of Aalborg believes that it will always be strong enough to compete against his side.

Whether these declarations are mind games or not, one thing is sure: Man United will want to forget about all what has been said at the press conferences and go for nothing else but a victory tonight.
