Ferguson keeps Smith on the leash
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Alan Smith is still nowhere near 100% fit following his horrific double leg break.
Seven months after suffering the injury at Liverpool, the Manchester United forward announced his impending return over a fortnight ago. Yet, it was only last night in Lisbon that Ferguson finally let Smith make his comeback appearance, and even then it was only as a late substitute in United's Champions League triumph over Benfica.
"Alan is not 100%," said Ferguson. "He is still well short of that. But we are seeing good signs every day. He is getting better and now he has the confidence of knowing he is back, which is very pleasing."
