Fergie to recall striker

Manchester United, 12:16, December 1, 2009 ,

Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to recall Dimitar Berbatov to his starting line-up for Manchester United's Carling Cup tie with Tottenham.

The Bulgaria striker missed the whole on November through injury but was fit enough to be on the bench for Saturday's 4-1 victory over Portsmouth and should get a run out in what is a repeat of last year's final against Spurs.
Berbatov could be partnered by Michael Owen up front as the experienced portion of the team with Darren Gibson, Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda and Gabriel Obertan all likely to be handed a rare start.
Ferguson could still be without John O'Shea and Jonny Evans as both are still struggling with their respective thigh and calf injuries while Rio Ferdinand is definitely out with a back injury.
