Sir Alex on United's current fitness level
Fitness – or, more importantly, match-fitness – is the key to even the slightest change in United’s form.
“The form comes naturally as you gain sharpness and fitness,”
“Match fitness is really important. You can train as much as you like, but playing in matches gives you edge, timing and better breathing.”

UK ID Cards for foreign nationals
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has unveiled the design for the controversial new identity card.
Foreign nationals will be issued the cards, which critics have described as unnecessary, costly and anti-liberty, from November.
People working in airports and other high security jobs will receive them from next year.
Ms Smith used the launch to defend the scheme. She said: "ID cards will help protect against identity fraud, illegal working, reduce the use of multiple identities in organised crime and terrorism, crack down on those trying to abuse positions of trust and make it easier for people to prove they are who they say they are."
But there are fears about the security of personal data after a run of well-publicised government data loss blunders.
Liberty Director Shami Chakrabarti said: "If the card came with loyalty points, we still wouldn't buy it. "Picking on foreigners first is divisive politics; as costly to our race relations as our purses."
Each card will carry a picture and a chip holding the person's name and date of birth, fingerprint record and other biometric data.
They will also detail the holder's visa status and right to work.
From 2011 everyone over the age of 16 applying for a passport will have their details added to a national identity register.

Weil's disease (leptospirosis)
Weil's disease is caused by leptospirosis bacteria found in rats' urine. The leptospirosis bacteria infects small mammals and rodents.
How to catch it
Scratched hands or skin expose blood vessels by coming in contact with rats' or small mammals' urine in the soil, hence contracting the disease. Bacteria come out of rats via their urine and people with open wounds can easily be infected.
In short, Weil's disease is usually caught through contact with soil or water contaminated with animal's urine.
Where to catch it
Living near wild animals heaven (railway lines and bushy gardens).
Who are vulnerable to catch it?
Most farmers and sewage workers. There are about 50 cases* a year.
Incubation period
Around 4* days.
Symptoms
Patient develops flu-like symptoms and severe jaundice. Conditon can deteriorate quickly and patient can get heart attack (which can lead to death).
Patient may be able to talk.
Treatment
The weil's disease can be treated if caught in time after infection (by anti-biotics?)
How to prevent it
By wearing gloves to protect hands/skin.
