Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says skipper Gary Neville knows he's under pressure from young Brazilian Rafael da Silva.

"Gary Neville will certainly play tomorrow," said Ferguson, ahead of their clash with Aalborg.

"I felt he was outstanding against Blackburn in the Carling Cup last week and we are doing exactly the right thing by not rushing him back.

"But he knows exactly what happens when a young player like Rafael breaks into the club. When they have such outstanding ability and show such outstanding form there is not a lot you can do about it.

"It is a great aspect of the game that a young boy can turn the corner and take someone's place. At the moment the performances of Rafael have been keeping Gary out."
