Brazilian twins Fabio and Rafael Da Silva are also under consideration by Sir Alex Ferguson while Dimitar Berbatov is doubtful with a dead leg.
United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Rafael, De Laet, Brown, Evans, Evra, Fabio, Valencia, Park, Carrick, Scholes, Anderson, Gibson, Obertan, Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Welbeck, Diouf.
