Good news for fans is Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to honor his contract and stay with Man U for one more season. Sir Alex Ferguson says he’s close to signing unsettled Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov within the next 24 hours. Berbatov scored 46 goals in his two years at Tottenham and will be a nice addition for the reigning Champs. Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to stick with the side that defeated Benfica in Lisbon on Tuesday, although out-of-sorts Wayne Rooney is set to be handed a more orthodox attacking role. Rooney hadn’t been playing his best soccer during the 2007-08 season and he’s been working hard to get back to his old self. "Wayne finished training, then stayed a while working alone because he knows he needs to do something,'' With five goals for United in his five matches against Newcastle, Rooney could not have picked any better opponent to help him return to top form. Injuries will keep Ryan Giggs and Kieron Dyer out of Sunday's match. Man United is 18-3 SU against Newcastle United since the 1993-94 season and Newcastle is 10-0 at Old Trafford. The last 10 Premiership clashes between the pair have produced a mammoth 41 goals. Newcastle made some big signings in the offseason, signing Argentine international star Fabricio Coloccini, midfielder Danny Guthrie and winger Jonas Gutierrez. Manager Kevin Keegan praised Coloccini as a player of the highest caliber, “He is a centre-back but can play anywhere across the back four and also in midfield, he gives us massive options.” They finished 13th last year in the standings. They’ll be much improved with the new additions to go along with Nicky Butt, Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins.
