NANI is fit for the Manchester derby.
The Portuguese winger, 24 next Wednesday, went off in the first half of United's Champions League win over Bursaspor last week with a groin strain but will face City at Eastlands tonight.
Ryan Giggs is battling to overcome a hamstring problem.
But Nani's news will be a major boost to Alex Ferguson as he counts the cost of a flu virus that has swept through the United camp - it even laid the boss low last Friday.
Fergie admits he needs to check the Old Trafford sickbed before making any decisions about his team.
He said: "It is not a great position for us to be in. We are counting heads at the moment.
"We've still got some players out with flu and we've sent some home.
"But we have a strong squad. We just carry on.
"I've no idea where to begin with my team, no ideas at all. Hopefully by Wednesday we'll be better.
"But there seems to be a lingering aspect to this virus and there's nothing we can do about it.
"We're getting there and I'm OK now."
