"Portsmouth bring in new coach and they would expect a positive response. Portsmouth has good players, but they were disturbed by the change in ownership of the club," Ferguson said in a press conference on Friday.

"I've seen tapes of their matches and did not seem to appear real. We knew Avram since he was at Chelsea. He's experienced and I'm sure he'll get the right reaction from his players.

"We will go through a difficult party for Portsmouth needed a good result. With the presence of Avram, I believe Portsmouth can rise and achieve results," added the coach of the Scottish geeks this.

For the party tomorrow, Manchester United lost three players back; Jonny Evans (ankle injury), John O'Shea (foot injury) and Rio Ferdinand (back injury). But Ferguson did not worry because Wes Brown and Nemanja Vidic both able to duet with in the heart of the defense.

"Vidic and Wes Brown played fantastic lately. If Wes Brown fit, then he is the best natural defender in England. Cooperation of both players that make us strong defense," he said.
