Striker some way off - Fergie
Manchester United, 11:46, August 28, 2008 ,
Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed striker Manucho is still some way off a first-team debut because of a foot injury.
The Angola international spent the second half of last season on loan at Greek outfit Panathinaikos because of work permit problems but the matter was successfully resolved over the summer.
However, a metatarsal injury saw the 25-year-old miss the pre-season trip to South Africa and Nigeria.
"He is still recovering from a metatarsal injury and has done bits of training," said Ferguson.
"It is quite promising in terms of recovery from the injury. But he is still well short of a competitive match."
