From Simon Stone, Press Association Sport Chief Football Writer, Valencia.
Manchester United aim to avoid getting caught up by a general strike in Spain tomorrow – and set up their own blockade against Valencia instead.
The country is set to come to a standstill tomorrow in protest at savage cuts being imposed by the government to try and balance the books in one of Europe’s most debt-ridden economies.
As a former trade unionist in the Glasgow shipyards, Ferguson is well versed in politics and reacted jovially when asked whether he was concerned about getting caught up in the action tomorrow.
Of far more concern to the Scot is shoring up a defence that has leaked nine goals in its five Premier League games, which means the return of Rio Ferdinand has not come a moment too soon.
“Rio is much fitter now,” said Ferguson.
“He has had plenty of training, a couple of reserve games and matches against Rangers and Scunthorpe.
“He was out for five months so he still probably needs another game or so.
“But the important thing is he is coming back and we look forward to having him back.”
Ferguson claimed to still be undecided about whether to select Ferdinand or Jonny Evans to feature alongside skipper Nemanja Vidic at the Mestalla.
Yet if that were true, it would be an odd situation given Ferguson left Ferdinand out of Sunday’s clash with Bolton purely because he does not have the strength yet to get himself through two arduous tests in the space of four days.
Merely by missing that Scunthorpe encounter to watch Valencia in action personally against Atletico Madrid last Wednesday, Ferguson was underlining the importance of what will be United’s 19th away game against Spanish opposition, from which they have emerged victorious just once, against Deportivo La Coruna in 2002.
“When you look at that statistic, obviously it is the hardest place for us to go,” he said.
“Spain has produced cup-winning teams for years. You have to recognise that.
“The standard of Spanish football has been good for as long as I can remember, so we have a tough game tomorrow. We are all aware of that.
