[From SkySports]
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Edwin van der Sar has broken his nose following his side's 4-0 win over Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
United had far too much for Tottenham in a convincing second half display which saw them score three goals, to add to Cristiano Ronaldo's late first half opener.
While delighted with the manner of his side's victory in the capital, Ferguson concedes that the three-point haul was tempered by the injury sustained when Van der Sar went in to challenge Spurs striker Robbie Keane.
Also of concern to the Scottish tactician was the sight of Wayne Rooney having to be replaced in the second half, with the striker now a doubt for England's game against Spain on Wednesday.
"Wayne was injured in a challenge, he was limping about for a bit so I had to take him off," Ferguson told Sky Sports.
"We'll assess him in the morning but he may be doubtful for Wednesday.
"Edwin has broken his nose, there was a lot of blood so he had to come off."
Having already made three substitutions when Van der Sar came off, with around five minutes remaining, John O'Shea was forced between the posts and the Irishman, along with Ronaldo, received special praise from his manager.
"The players are all signing John's jersey in there," he concluded. "It was fantastic.
"We were in a comfortable position but you never know. He did very well.
"Ronaldo was fantastic. The boy has come on great, he's got a courage to play and always wants the ball.
"In the early part of the match I thought he was a bit careless but he got more of the ball and was more comfortable. He's not the kind of player who can play on the fringes.
"The scoreline was very good. Winning 4-0 is an exceptional scoreline and in fairness Tottenham had chances." |
