Carrick on his way to Wembley
Sir Alex Ferguson's injury concerns are beginning to ease as United prepare to kick off 2008/09 on Sunday in the Community Shield clash with Portsmouth.
The squad for Wembley will be bolstered by the return of Michael Carrick - the midfielder trained on Thursday after recovering from the virus that also waylaid Wayne Rooney.
"Carrick trained yesterday for the first time and I'm taking him to Wembley," said Sir Alex.
"Hopefully I'll give him some minutes on the pitch. If he is feeling good then we have to get some minutes on the clock for him ahead of next week against Newcastle."
Wayne Rooney is now also clear of the virus but he returned to training only today (Friday) after missing every session since the Reds returned from Africa on 28 July.
"We have a big job to get him ready for Newcastle," said Sir Alex, "but with seven or eight days training, we may just make it now. He's much better and the medical reports are good.
"Gary Neville and Nani are fit and they will travel. Nani will probably start on Sunday because he is suspended for the first two league games of the season.
"Owen Hargreaves is not ready. He should be OK for Portsmouth away (on Monday 25 August), that's the time frame we've put on it.
"Ben Foster had a bit of swelling in his knee which you can sometimes get after a cruciate knee injury. We're trying to manage that but he's not ready yet to play in games. It's unfortunate for the lad because he was looking forward to an uninterrupted run."

Fergie lines up new striker
Sir Alex Ferguson is aiming to add a striker to his Manchester United squad before the start of the season.
United have been heavily linked with a bid for Tottenham Hotspur star Dimitar Berbatov as Ferguson looks to improve his attacking options.
With Wayne Rooney struggling with a virus, Cristiano Ronaldo out until October, and Louis Saha continuing to battle with his fitness, Ferguson is short of cover up front.
The likes of Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Karim Benzema have also been linked with moves to Old Trafford, and Ferguson confirmed he has several options to consider.
Hoping"We are looking at three or four different options in the striking department which I hope will come to a happy conclusion," said Ferguson.
"Hopefully we will have someone in for the start of the season."
Meanwhile, Ferguson has suggested Saha has a future with the champions, despite the French striker's injury troubles throughout his United career.
"You don't want to give up on people like that just because they have had a few injuries," added Ferguson.
Explosive"When he is fit, Louis is an explosive player who will guarantee 20 goals a season.
"Louis is on a programme at the moment which we feel will get him to 100% fitness.
"It is more about his confidence in doing this programme which will get him back playing all the time. Hopefully that is the case because he is such a fantastic player."
