Fergie set for last minute Rio call

Sir Alex Ferguson is set to make a late decision on whether to play Rio Ferdinand in the Champions League clash with Valencia.

The Scot has insisted his captain requires "another game or so" before regaining his full fitness after missing a large portion of last season due to injury.
However, he has dropped a hint on featuring the centre-back at the Mestalla.
"Rio has had plenty of training and a couple of reserve games," Ferguson was quoted as saying in The Mirror.

"He had a game against Rangers and I think he probably needs another game or two. That goes without saying, considering he's been out for five months.
"That's why we didn't risk him against Bolton on Sunday. We felt it was going to be a physical game there, so we decided to stay with Vidic and Jonny Evans. They've done very well, I don't have complaints. And whether Rio plays is a decision I will take on Wednesday. The important thing is that he's coming back and we can look forward to having him back."
The result of Ferdinand's absence has been evident so far in the season, with United conceding nine goals in their last five games in all competition.
Though Ferguson might find it a game too early to unleash his captain tonight, he will be hoping his current defenders will produce a better defensive display against a tricky Valencia side and hopefully bag their first win of the competition after being held by Rangers in their opening fixture.
The Scot said: "It was a disappointing result for us in the first game," said the United boss. "But we have five games left to qualify.
"We expect a very difficult game. Valencia are top of the league, I watched them last Wednesday, and on TV on Sunday, and they're playing very well.
"Spain is obviously the hardest place for us to go. Spain has produced cup-winning teams for years and years, you have to recognize that. The standard of Spanish football always been very good, so it will be a tough game. We're all aware of that."
Despite being a regular fixture in the Champions League, Ferguson is still relishing the chance to rub shoulders with the elites.
He added: "The Champions League is the best tournament. It's the biggest challenge, because you're playing the best teams. You want to be classed alongside the likes of Barcelona, the great teams who've won it so many times.
"There's a big expectation for us to do well in Europe. Sometimes we've disappointed and sometimes you can be unlucky - one bad moment in football and you can go out. But it drives you on and hopefully this year we can so better."
