UNITED manager Sir Alex Ferguson is poised to make changes to his side for the Barclays Premier League match against Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Ryan Giggs, Carlos Tevez and Owen Hargreaves are pushing to return to the starting line-up following the victory against Portsmouth in midweek. Louis Saha (knee) and Gary Neville (ankle) remain sidelined as United look to kick on towards a second successive title after taking 27 points from a possible 30. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar now expects to finish his career at Old Trafford and not Ajax in his native Holland. Van der Sar, 37, recently committed himself to the club until the summer of next year. He said: "It is getting more and more likely I will never play with another team. "When I left Ajax I told the supporters I wanted to finish my career there and that was the plan for a long time. "But at 34 I got a chance to play at Old Trafford and here I am competing for big trophies and part of a fantastic team. That is not something you give away easily. "I feel fine. I had small groin strain over Christmas but I've recovered from that and I am ready for the last four months of the season." | |||||
