Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Stoke's aerial assault will hold no fears for his side at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The game will mark the return to Old Trafford of Michael Owen, who joined Stoke after his United contract ran out in the summer.
Ferguson said: "He is a fantastic player but it was difficult to hold on to Michael.
"We had the opportunity to sign Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck were improving and developing as players, Wayne Rooney was there, of course, and there are young strikers like (Federico) Macheda, Will Keane, Josh King and Bebe.
"But Michael is a brilliant professional and a top man. I was disappointed to let him go."
