Rafael Da Silva Must Think Christmas Has Come Early

Rafael da Silva (one of the two in the picture, left, I hope Fergie can tell them apart) must think Christmas has come early for him!! He could be about to get an extended run in the Manchester United team after Wes Brown underwent surgery on an ankle injury. Add to this the injury to Gary Neville and the fact that he has made an immediate impact with Sir Alex, then the future looks rosy for Rafael.

Joining Wes Brown on the sidelines is Dimitar Berbatov, who strained his thigh in Bulgaria's recent 6-2 drubbing at the hands of Nemanja Vidic's Serbia. It looks like Berba will be out for 10 days, missing three games so it's not too bad.

Also on the list of absentees are Paul Scholes, Owen Hargreaves and Gary Neville...
