United hoping for win against little-known Otelul

Manchester United will be without England center back Rio Ferdinand when it takes on little-known Romanian team Otelul Galati in the Champions League on Tuesday.United is looking for its first win in this seasons competition, against a side manager Alex Ferguson admitted he had never heard of before.Even in Romania, not much more is known about the Steelworkers other than that Oteluls captain volunteered for a 30 percent pay cut last year.With United in desperate need of a win to kickstart its campaign after two straight draws in Group C, Ferguson could recall captain Nemanja Vidic, who has recovered from a calf injury, as well as Wayne Rooney, Portugal winger Nani and Mexico striker Javier Hernandez, after all three started on the bench at the weekend.Ferguson left Rooney out of his lineup for Saturdays 1-1 draw at Liverpool because the striker was devastated that he had been given a three-match ban by UEFA for a sending-off on England duty, ruling him out of the group stage of the 2012 European Championship.Ferguson said that Rooney was full of energy and enthusiasm and hell be playing today, at a press conference in Bucharest.Ferdinand, who played the full 90 minutes against Liverpool, has been rested and is not in the 23-man squad.We need to win both games (against Otelul) and hopefully well do that, Ferguson said. And well hope for one of two things from the other teams (Basel and Benfica) either they both draw or one wins both games. We dont want them to win a game each as the group would then be very tight.
