Ronaldo in there...? Then maybe Man Utd can win. Giggs on the left and Ronaldo on the right really make the hell outta defenders :P

well keane had a slight hamstring strain, probably save him for the dippers game. I hope Ronnie isnt rushing back. Grief can take a while to set in properly. I hope he has taken some time to consider everything before making his way back.

Riquelme isn't unstoppable, last year AZ gave him and Villareal a very hard time and eventually knocked them out the Uefa Cup. Man U is way better than AZ, so it shouldn't be a problem, and I am sure that SAF will think of something to mark him for most of the game....

here's the full story from FSW

Ronaldo could face Villarreal

Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to make a surprise return for Manchester United in their Champions League opener against Villarreal on Wednesday.

The Portuguese star missed Saturday's Manchester derby on compassionate grounds following the death of his father and, after the 1-1 draw with City, Sir Alex Ferguson claimed he did not expect the brilliant winger to be available for the trip to Spain either.

However, the 20-year-old stunned Ferguson and his coaching team by turning up to United's Carrington training ground as normal on Monday.

And, after coming through two training sessions, and then providing assurances he is in the correct mental state to play, Ronaldo was added to the party which flew out of Manchester Airport lunchtime on Tuesday.

The news is a huge boost to Ferguson, who has been forced to revise his usual European away-day preparation because of the hour travelling time between Villarreal and the nearest airport in Valencia.

Instead of training at their opponents' El Madrigal stadium as usual, Fergie put his team through their paces in Manchester before embarking on an afternoon flight rather than a normal breakfast departure.

Riquelme isn't hard to mark, he doesn't move around much, he's just hiper skilled

With Riquelme out it's easier for Villareal, but I tink Man uth is overconfident. I've seen on tv that yesterday they went to play golf.

Villareal is not as fit as last year

Yeah, they could get their pretty little ass ripped if they dont take the match in a serious way.

I'm predicting 1-1, one goal, Van Nistelrooy, because he ALWAYS scores at least one goal! And for Villarreal, Forlan, just because, it's Forlan! :p

Even though Man Utd haven't been as dominant in Europe these past couple of seasons I am still sorta expecting for them to beat a non-Riquelme Villareal. If I was Fergie a draw would sorta be disheartening.
