Fergie wants United given a stern Africa test - while Eagles just wants to stay

The squad move on to Durban today to prepare for the Vodacom Challenge match
against Orlando Pirates.

It will be United's second game of the tournament following the 1-1 draw against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.

United boy: Chris Eagles does not want to leave

United came from behind to snatch the equaliser through midfielder Chris Eagles
after the Chiefs had opened the scoring thanks to Jonathan Quartey's penalty.

Ferguson is now expecting an action replay against the Pirates.

He said: 'It could be another difficult game but that is what we need. I will expect the same commitment from my players as they showed on Saturday. They worked very hard.'

Eagles, 22, savoured the moment after making only three appearances for a side
that won the Champions League and retained their Premier League title last season.

If he has to move on - and that seems likely - he will do so with considerable
reluctance.

'I've been here since I was 14 and I have no plans to leave, ' he said. 'The manager is the main person I have to please and I respect him for what he has always done for me.

'It was a good game and I was pleased with my efforts. I had some time against
Aberdeen last week and really enjoyed it - I just love playing in the first team.'

Ferguson is keen for Rio Ferdinand to play some part after the England defender
suffered a back spasm just before kick-off on Saturday and was not risked.

Ferdinand is playing catch-up in pre-season after sitting out the friendly against Aberdeen.

Ferguson wants to see the England star in action and added: 'I will make some
changes for the next match. We have to give everyone some minutes on the clock, Rio Ferdinand in particular.

'He missed the game at Aberdeen and is behind schedule in terms of games but I would like to think he will be fit to take part on Tuesday.'

Michael Carrick, who is carrying a knock, could also be available to face the Pirates while Wes Brown is expected to recover from a gashed ankle he sustained against the Chiefs.

United will play their third and final game in the tournament on Saturday when
they face either the Chiefs or the Pirates.
