Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal insists Manchester United are still the favourites to progress from their Champions League quarter-final despite the German side going into Wednesday night's second leg with a 2-1 lead.
Bayern came from behind to secure their advantage in Munich last Tuesday with late strikes from Franck Ribery and Ivica Olic after Wayne Rooney had put United ahead in the second minute.
The hosts looked good value for their victory in the Allianz Arena, but Van Gaal feels his side remain underdogs for the return match at Old Trafford.
Asked if he saw United as the favourites for the tie, the Dutchman said: "Yes. They have scored an away goal and they are a great team.
"They have a lot of experience playing big games at home and of course, they will have the support of the crowd.
"Our team is quite a young one in that it consists of young players, so that is a different situation.
"It is going to be our team versus theirs tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.''
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is refusing to rule out naming Rooney on the bench, as his 34-goal striker looks to overcome the ankle injury he suffered in the final moments of United's first leg defeat seven days ago.
Ferguson had at first rejected the notion of an appearance in the return match, insisting Rooney had "no chance'' of being involved.
However, seconds later he said he didn't "think'' Rooney would be on the bench, before adding that he expected the 24-year-old to try to change his mind before he confirms his squad an hour before kick-off.
Any chance, however slight, of Rooney being involved will be seized upon by supporters desperate for some good news at the end of a dismal week which will see United's European aspirations brought to an end unless they can overturn a 2-1 deficit.
"He has no chance,'' Ferguson began. "We have made some good progress with the lad and the medical team have done fantastic.
"But I am not prepared to take a risk on a player who is not 100% fit. They are looking more at the Manchester City game, maybe Blackburn as a substitute. That is possible.
"But it is an ankle injury, the same as any other. He is no different to anyone else.''
Asked directly whether Rooney could be on the bench, Ferguson replied: "I don't think so, although he will maybe talk me into it. It is a difficult one.''
Van Gaal does not believe that his opposite number is trying to play mind games with him over the fitness of the England forward.
He said: "I don't think that will happen, but when we played Fiorentina we were faced with a different team than we thought and that does happen in the football business.
"(But) I don't think Ferguson will do that and I'd also like to say that we did win a game with Rooney (playing) - it's not as if we can't win when Wayne
Rooney is playing for Manchester United. We don't even need to win - a draw is fine.''

Serie A champions cruise through in Russia
CSKA Moscow 0 - 1 Internazionale
Inter Milan reached the last four of the Champions League for the first time since 2003 as they eased to a 2-0 aggregate victory in Moscow.
Netherlands midfielder Wesley Sneijder grabbed the only goal of the game in the sixth minute as his low free-kick found its way through the CSKA wall and beyond goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.
Things got worse for the hosts when they had substitute Chidi Odiah sent off early in the second half and Inter were comfortably able to repel any pressure from their hosts and coast in the last four.
Overhauling their first-leg deficit always looked like being a tough task for the home side, given the way they were completely outplayed at the San Siro last week and the absence of key midfielder Yevgeny Aldonin and Milos Krasic through suspension.
But they made a bright start on the plastic pitch at Luzhniki Stadium and had an early effort on goal from Japan midfielder Keisuke Honda, who dragged a long-range effort wide.
But Inter landed an early body blow as they opened the scoring.
Sneijder drilled in a low free-kick that flew under the leaping wall and fooled keeper Akinfeev to end up in the back of the net.
That goal meant the hosts needed to score three goals to have any chance of going through and Inter went close to getting their second goal of the night as Goran Pandev had a sight of goal, but Akinfeev comfortably held his shot.
Conceding the goal prompted an early response from CSKA manager Leonid Slutsky as he hauled off defender Vasili Berezutsky after just 13 minutes to replace him with Odiah.
Honda then fired wide with two optimistic free-kick efforts from distance, but the hosts did go close to grabbing a goal back when Tomas Necid fired agonisingly wide after controlling Odiah's pass in the 24th minute.
The hosts then carved out another chance in the 34th minute as they broke quickly through Mark Gonzalez, but Alan Dzagoev made a mess of the finish, scuffing the ball infield as he drove into the box.
And that miss was almost instantly punished as Sneijder's excellent lofted ball played Diego Milito in, but the Argentinian forward could only hit his shot at Akinfeev.
Odiah then saw Julio Cesar tip his shot round the post at the other end, but the Italian champions looked comfortable soaking up any CSKA pressure.
And things got even worse for the Russian side when Odiah was dismissed just three minutes into the second half as his rash lunge for a loose ball saw him bring down Samuel Eto'o to earn himself a second yellow card.
But they continued to push forward in search of a goal and midfielder Gonzalez had two chances in the space of a minute.
The Chile international firstly smashed a half-volley that Julio Cesar did well to hang on to, before dragging another effort wide from the edge of the box.
With 20 minutes to go, Jose Mourinho's side were dominating possession, sweeping the ball around at will, and Sneijder and Dejan Stankovic both forced Akinfeev into action with powerful efforts, and the keeper did superbly to keep out Milito's effort with the Argentina international through on goal.
The game rather petered out from that point, although Eto'o just failed to add a second as he shot over the bar in the final minutes.

Barcelona - Arsenal 4-1 (video)
Messi quartet haunts Gunners
Lionel Messi lived up to his billing as the best player in the world with four goals to end Arsenal's Champions League dream in the Nou Camp.
Nicklas Bendtner had fired the Gunners into a shock lead on 18 minutes. However, Messi soon drew Barcelona level after capitalising on a mistake by Mikael Silvestre.
The Argentina forward then added a second from close range before dashing clear to make it 3-1 on the night just before the break, and grabbed a fourth with three minutes left to complete a comfortable 6-3 aggregate victory for the tournament holders.
Arsene Wenger's injury-hit squad - without the likes of captain Cesc Fabregas, Andrey Arshavin and Alex Song - must now regroup and focus on overhauling Chelsea and Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League title race.
Arsenal, playing in their white change kit, looked determined not to be overrun as they had during the opening exchanges of the first leg.
Barcelona, however, created an couple of chances when Xavi, captain for the night in the absence of suspended Carles Puyol, flicked the ball wide before Messi fired an angled shot just over the bar in a sign of things to come.
The English side, though, snatched a shock lead on their first real chance after 18 minutes.
Theo Walcott was put clear by Abou Diaby down the right, and he dashed into the Barca penalty area before squaring to Bendtner.
Victor Valdes made a good reaction save, but the in-form Denmark striker was quick to stab the rebound into the net and put the English team ahead in the tie for the first time.
The Gunners then wasted another chance of a breakaway, as Diaby pushed the ball left to Bendtner when Walcott was in space on the right.
It proved a costly error as Barcelona went up the other end to equalise on 21 minutes.
Silvestre, in the side ahead of veteran Sol Campbell who was not fully fit, failed to clear the ball on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area - and Messi needed no second invitation, lashing his shot into the top right corner.
Messi continued to torment Arsenal as he collected the ball on the right touchline before weaving into the box and drilling a shot into the side netting.
Arsenal were again punished by Messi for some poor defending as Barcelona went 2-1 ahead on 37 minutes.
Eric Abidal crossed the ball into the Arsenal box from the right, which was cut out by Thomas Vermaelen. However, his team-mates were slow to react as Pedro knocked the loose ball out to Messi - and he smashed it past Almunia.
The Argentina international completed a stunning hat-trick four minutes before the break when he latched onto a header from Abidal to race clear before dispatching a brilliant chip over the Arsenal keeper.
Messi nearly had another at the start of the second half when Pedro whipped a low ball across the Arsenal six-yard box from the right, which was just too far ahead of the Barcelona forward.
Arsenal had little choice but to go forwards, but that left the visitors exposed at the back.
The visitors nearly found away through when Diaby stabbed the ball to Bendtner just inside the Barcelona box, but the Denmark striker was hustle out of possession before he could shoot.
Then when left-back Gael Clichy broke and fed Bendtner, the home defence again got back in numbers to clear.
Diaby's low ball across the edge of the Barcelona box went all the way through to Tomas Rosicky, but the Czech snatched at his shot, which flew harmlessly wide.
Messi's clever quick free-kick released Pedro, but his angled chip was off target, before at the other end Bendtner's header crashed against the post - but the offside flag was up.
With 18 minutes left, Wenger sent on Eduardo for Rosicky, with Samir Nasri moving out to the left in a 4-4-2.
Clichy knocked Alves off the ball to charge forwards, but, with team-mates well placed, drilled an ambitious shot over from 20 yards.
Maxwell forced Almunia into a good save at his near post after cutting into the right side of the Arsenal penalty area.
Messi then completed a fine night's work with another well-taken goal three minutes from time as the holders marched on towards a mouth-watering semi-final clash against Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan.

Sir Alex rules Rooney out of Bayern clash
Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted that there is "no chance" that Wayne Rooney will play any part in Wednesday night's Champions League showdown with Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.
Rooney suffered minor ligament damage to his right ankle in the first leg against Bayern in the Allianz Arena, and initial reports said he could be out for up to a month.
But speculation in the press had suggested that Sir Alex would risk him against Bayern in a bid to reach the Champions League semi-finals. On Monday it was reported that the 34-goal striker had a 40% chance of featuring in the return leg.
Sir Alex has now said he is not prepared to risk the long-term fitness of the England international as United look to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
''He's got no chance,'' he said. ''We've made some good progress with the lad, the medical team have done fantastic, but I'm not prepared to take a risk on a player who is not 100% fit.
''The boy is making good progress. The medical team have done a fantastic job but it is an ankle injury the same as any other ankle injury. You can't take a risk with a player who is not 100%.
''I don't think he will be on the bench although he might talk me into it, it is a difficult one.''
The one piece of good news for Ferguson is the likely availability of John O'Shea, who has not played since suffering complications in his recovery from a dead leg sustained in the Republic of Ireland's World Cup play-off defeat to France in November.

Barcelona v Arsenal: Preview
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has warned his players to forget last week's impressive performance against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium and focus on the job in hand when the two sides meet again at the Nou Camp tomorrow night.
Barca played Arsenal off the park with some breathtaking football in the first half and went 2-0 up early in the second period.
The Catalans were eventually pegged back, though, and had to settle for a 2-2 draw as Arsenal rallied late on.
It was perhaps an unfair reflection of the play, which Barca dominated, creating 22 chances overall and an incredible 11 in the first 15 minutes.
But Guardiola says a repeat of that performance cannot be expected tomorrow.
"What we did the other day has nothing to do with tomorrow's match,'' Guardiola said.
"Those things only happen every now and again and it's in the past. We have to forget about it and focus on doing our job tomorrow.
"We performed well last week but now we have to go again and if we don't play well, if we do not produce the necessary level of performance, it will be tough and we might not get to the semi-finals.''
Guardiola is missing a host of first-team players with defensive pair Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique suspended.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored Barca's goals at the Emirates, is also out after picking up a calf injury in the warm-up ahead of Saturday's 4-1 win at home to Athletic Bilbao.
"It's bad news because he is a very important player for us, so we hope he recovers as soon as possible,'' Guardiola said.
The Barca coach will also make a late decision on Andres Iniesta, who was out with a thigh problem but is now back in full training.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger called on his battle-weary side to show no fear as they aim to upset the odds.
The Gunners' preparations for the second leg were today hit by the news Cameroon international Alex Song - who had been in line to drop back into defence as veteran Sol Campbell struggles to regain full match fitness - was out with a knee injury.
Arsenal were already missing captain Cesc Fabregas, who suffered a cracked bone in his leg when winning the late penalty which levelled the tie at 2-2, as well as centre-back William Gallas and Russian playmaker Andrey Arshavin.
However, Wenger maintains his team - with England forward Theo Walcott in contention to start having made a major impact from the bench in the first leg - have what it takes to pull off another famous away victory.
"We have won away everywhere in Europe. Barcelona is a place where we have not done it, so there is no better opportunity than tomorrow night,'' Wenger declared.
"I am confident despite the injuries we have that we can do it.
"Of course, we will need to get everybody to 100% of his potential and have a great team performance.
"This team, though, has such a great mental strength and I believe they can fight against the odds anywhere in the world.''
Wenger openly admits Arsenal are lucky to still have a chance, however slim, of progression to the semi-finals after the way in which they were completely dominated in the opening stages of the first leg.
"We have learned that it is important we start will full power, without any inhibition, which we showed in the first 20 minutes at the Emirates,'' he said.
"How we manage to do that will certainly have a big influence on the game and on the result tomorrow.
"We have to try to be very disciplined, but not to hide when we have the ball.''
With so many of his key men missing, the last thing Wenger needed was another injury problem.
The prognosis on Song, however, does not look promising.
"It was a bad surprise this morning, because he had a scan yesterday afternoon on his knee and it is an inflamed cartilage,'' the Arsenal boss revealed.
"We have to wait how the evolution will be, but he is completely out of the squad for tomorrow's game.''
Song had been pencilled in to drop back into defence, as he had done following Gallas' calf injury relapse in the first leg, given Campbell can often need more recovery time between games.
Wenger will, though, leave a decision on the 35-year-old's involvement as late as possible, with fellow veteran Mikael Silvestre, 32, also part of the 18-man squad which left Luton this afternoon.
"That is a decision I have to make, consulting with Sol tomorrow to see how he feels,'' Wenger said.
"Today he was still not completely available. He managed a warm up and then we got him in.
"It is such a big game that you must be completely fit or not play at all.''

Bayern Munich v Manchester United: Preview
Louis van Gaal insists Manchester United have more reason to be afraid of Bayern Munich than the German giants do of their 1999 Champions League final conquerors.
In the build-up to tomorrow's quarter-final first leg at the Allianz Arena, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge suggested his team were scared about trying to keep Wayne Rooney quiet.
As the man who must overcome a team who hail from the "level one'' station he can only dream of eight months into his work, Van Gaal could have done without the suggestion of an inferiority complex.
And the Dutchman was quick to turn it on its head, even though he accepts Rooney, who has travelled after shrugging off the foot problem which kept him out of Saturday's win at Bolton, has a special talent that will not be easily quelled.
"I never have fear and my players don't have any fear either,'' said Bayern coach Van Gaal.
"We value Rooney's quality. He is a super footballer.
"When he was younger, I often wondered whether he had the vision in his game.
"He has developed that now and is very hard to mark out of the game.
"But we can manage because we also have quality. Ferguson and his players should be scared of that.''
Bayern are sweating on the fitness of former Chelsea star Arjen Robben, who aggravated a groin injury in Saturday's defeat by Stuttgart.
It is the kind of muscular problem that has plagued Robben throughout his career and he has never given the impression of being too keen to try to play through.
Van Gaal will give his fellow countryman every chance, knowing he is capable of the individual brilliance that helped dispose of Fiorentina in the last round.
But he has vowed no chances will be taken.
"We need a player like Robben against Manchester United but if he is not 100%, he doesn't play,'' Van Gaal said.
"You have always got to be a bit careful with a player who dribbles at such high intensity. He is not injured but his muscle is tired.''
Robben's wing twin Franck Ribery is more likely to be involved despite a nagging ankle injury.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits the European stage is still the one he loves best.
For a competitive game, the magnificent Allianz Arena is a new stadium for United.
Their previous three trips to Munich were all to the equally glamorous Olympic Stadium, in the days before Bayern took up residence in a futuristic new home built for the 2006 World Cup.
"I have always dreamed about being involved in Europe,'' Ferguson said.
"When I first went into European football with Aberdeen, we played Real Madrid in the Cup Winners' Cup final in 1983. That was the start of the dream.
"We played Bayern in the quarter-final that year and Liverpool on one occasion. They were nights you wanted to have all your life.
"When they changed the old format of the European Cup to the Champions League, (it was) all the best teams.
"You always hoped to play against the likes of Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern.
"They are all in the tournament now. We have got our cake and everyone who is involved in Europe is eating it.''
There is certainly a wariness inside the United camp merely because of the history they are facing.
"I respect Bayern Munich,'' said Ferguson.
"I have great admiration for them as a club. That is what we are playing. We are playing history. A team with history has a certain pride and we have to remember that.''
United are boosted by the presence not only of Rooney but also of Rio Ferdinand in the travelling party. The centre-back has shrugged off a groin problem that kept him out of the Bolton game.

Manchester United 3 - 0 West Ham United : Rooney heads victory
Manchester United 3 - 0 West Ham United
Wayne Rooney produced another match-winning performance for Manchester United as he took his tally for the season to 27 by bagging a double against West Ham.
The 24-year-old has been set a conservative target of 30 by Sir Alex Ferguson. At this rate he will eclipse the 42 that helped turn Cristiano Ronaldo into the world's best player two years ago.
''My biggest concern was how we were going to maintain the scoring level,'' reflected Ferguson in his programme notes as he considered Ronaldo's summer exit for Real Madrid. ''There you have the answer,'' he added. Not that anyone needed it.
Rooney has a maximum of 17 games to overhaul Ronaldo's 2007-08 tally. On present form it is well within range.
A week ago, United were engaged in that amazing Champions League encounter with AC Milan in the San Siro, which could have been disastrous but turned out to be one of the great European results.
Rooney grabbed all the headlines, just as he has been doing for most of the season as he has dragged United along in pursuit of glory.
Where the Red Devils would be without the striker does not bear thinking about. Little wonder Ferguson once again opted to stick with him against supposedly lesser opposition on home soil when probably, he could do with a rest, however minimal.
The wisdom of the selection was proved just before half-time when Rooney planted his diving header into the corner of Robert Green's goal.
Prior to that, Darron Gibson had been the hosts' main threat, repeatedly taking aim from distance, without really threatening to beat Green's blockade.
It would be churlish to exclude Dimitar Berbatov and Antonio Valencia from praise given the Bulgarian's excellent crossfield pass and an even better volleyed cross to the far post from the South American. But Rooney was the man who had shifted into space, Rooney who had to finish. There was never any prospect of him failing.
Unlike Milan, West Ham did not reach half-time unable to believe they were not ahead. Gianfranco Zola might have pondered how fortunate Ben Foster had been, though.
Handed his first start since November, but surely too late to earn a call-up for England's friendly against Egypt next week, Foster was in direct opposition to another member of Fabio Capello's expanded squad.
But he would have been hanging his head in shame if he had pushed a Guillermo Franco shot that looped skywards off Gary Neville into his own net rather than directly onto his line.
The loss of Anderson to a knee injury sustained when no one was near him does not auger well for a positive conclusion to the Brazilian's disappointing season.
Injury is the one thing Capello cannot countenance for Rooney. There would be no point in the Italian trying to put on a brave face. England would instantly be reduced from contenders to also-rans.
In a very similar manner to his opener, Rooney found himself in splendid isolation when Berbatov released Valencia with another excellent pass in the build up to the second.
Once again the cross was inviting. Once again Rooney sent it past Green. For a player of his class, his finishes had been routine.
Less so was the strength required to bundle Green off the ball and the eye for an opportunity as Rooney fired goalwards from the touchline. Had Julien Faubert not been stood on the line, it would have been an incredible finish to a hat-trick.
Instead, Owen grabbed the third after an inspired through ball from Paul Scholes. It was Owen's eighth of the season, only one short of Berbatov's tally. A long way behind Rooney though. And the gap is going to get wider yet.

VfB Stuttgart vs Barcelona - VfB Arena, StuttgartTuesday February 23, 2010
When VfB Stuttgart fans saw that they had been drawn with continental giants Barcelona in the last 16 of this season's Champions League extravaganza, they must have felt like running up a white flag.
It is, after all, a clash of David versus Goliath proportions, a game that pits, in Barcelona, a team that continues to conquer all, against a Stuttgart side struggling in the Bundesliga and who only just made it out of a particularly weak qualifying group.

Nevertheless, having already been given little or no chance of progressing past Pep Guardiola's exceptional side, the Stuttgart faithful will be buoyed by last weekend's 2-1 away win at Nuremberg, a victory that means they have won five in a row domestically and remain unbeaten since Christian Gross took over in December.
Stuttgart's fine current form is in stark contrast to their somewhat stop start qualifying campaign.
A home draw with Scotland's Rangers and a demoralizing defeat in their own backyard to eventual group winners Sevilla were definite lows, whilst a spirited draw in Valencia and a convincing 3-1 home win against Romanian upstarts Unirea Urziceni, were the highlights.
Veteran goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, who excelled against Unirea, is, according to Gross, back to his very best, whilst the exceptionally talented Sami Khedira and former Arsenal star Aleksandr Hleb will raid forward and look to supply Russian striker Pavel Pogrebnyak who will certainly test Barcelona's backline over the two legs.
Despite losing 2-1 at home against Group F minnows Rubin Kazan, Barcelona, the current Champions League holders, qualified for this season's knockout phase with relative ease.
A battling 0-0 draw away at Inter Milan, coupled with a 2-0 home win against Jose Mourinho's charges underlined their group dominance, although injuries to key players have cast a shadow over February 23 trip to Stuttgart.
Already doubtful for the VfB Stadium encounter are Eric Abidal, Dani Alves and now Dmytro Chygrynskiy, a defensive headache that will not help Guardiola's mood ahead of the test in Germany.
Whilst Barca's problems at the back may be a ray of light for Stuttgart, the Catalan team's prowess going forward - take a bow Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thierry Henry and young upstart Pedro, is sure to be worrying Gross.
Barca, who last season became the first team to win six trophies in one campaign, are once again riding high in La Liga.
Thanks to their sublime football - a flowing, skill-laden version of the beautiful game that left Manchester United wondering what had hit them in last season's Champions League final - many Spanish analysts are already declaring that the title is theirs to lose.
Whilst that may be so, Guardiola and his men would do well not to underestimate Stuttgart, with the German faithful sure to provide a hostile reception, this tie may not as much of a walkover as many are predicting.

Online Watch Man Utd v West Ham Live Stream English Premier League Soccer Highlight Review Preview Watch Free TV online JustinTV Youtube video Ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone believes West Ham co-owner David Gold's idea to move the club to the 2012 stadium faces serious legal obstacles.
Livingstone helped London win the 2012 Olympics arguing that the stadium would be an athletics venue after the Games.
"There's a legally binding contract between the Mayor and the International Olympic Committee that the stadium will be an athletics venue," he said.
The IOC would also have to approve any change in the stadium's usage.
"If we had said we were building a football stadium, we would not have won," Livingstone told BBC Radio 5 live.

However, Gold has received political support for his idea from Sir Robin Wales, the Mayor of Newham.
The Newham Mayor said he "would like West Ham to be in there", adding it was a "sensible solution".
The Newham borough is home to the Premier League team's Upton Park ground as well as the Olympic Stadium, which will host two-thirds of the events at the 2012 Games.
Wales, who sits on the boards of the Olympic Park Legacy Company and Games organiser Locog, said: "My view is to develop the stadium as a football stadium in legacy and use the money from West Ham and the developers to then build a proper athletics offer in London.
He believes there could be "a problem with the legacy" if the club did not move into the £450m stadium.
Gold maintains that a deal for West Ham to relocate there remains a "serious possibility".
"I'm sensing an easing of the stance that it should be a legacy to athletics," the West Ham co-owner told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We have to be more pragmatic. Do we want to have a stadium like we have at Crystal Palace which just deteriorated and rotted away because it wasn't sustainable?
"We believe there is a serious possibility that we could strike a deal that would take West Ham to the Olympic Stadium.
"If that can be done, we would have a super stadium that could take the club to the next level."
Gold and co-owner David Sullivan took over the cash-strapped club last month and immediately confirmed their interest in relocating to the 80,000-capacity Olympic Stadium in Stratford as they try to improve the club finances.
Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell has insisted that keeping the stadium as a grand prix athletics venue was one of the reasons that London bid for the Games, and keeping the running track at the stadium to leave a legacy to athletics in East London remained a strong commitment.
The Olympic Park Legacy Company is to shortly invite bids from businesses that want to apply for a commercial stake in the stadium.

Manchester United v West Ham United : Key defenders could make United return
Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic could be back to bolster Manchester United's flagging Premier League title challenge against West Ham tomorrow.
Sir Alex Ferguson has not had his first-choice central defensive partnership available since October but with Ferdinand now clear of suspension and Vidic over the nerve problem that has prevented him making an appearance in 2010, both are expected to start against the Hammers.
With the Carling Cup final just five days away, Ferguson might have been tempted to rest Wayne Rooney but that hardly seems likely in the wake of Saturday's defeat at Everton that left the Red Devils four points adrift of Chelsea. Nani is still suspended.
As someone who has finished a champion in each of his three full seasons since his £18.6million move to Old Trafford from Tottenham, midfielder Michael Carrick is reluctant to let than run come to an end.
However, he knows extending it means inflicting some pain on West Ham, the club where he started his career and who he clearly retains a lot of affection for.
"West Ham gave me my chance,'' he said. "They took me away from home, taught me a lot of things and guided me through.
"They gave me a chance in the first team, so I have a lot to thank them for.
"I still have a lot of friends there who I like to see when I go back.
"But, obviously, when we kick off it is business as usual and I am desperate to get the win.''
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has doubts over striker Benni McCarthy.
The South African star, who signed for the Hammers on the last day of the January transfer window, has been out with a knee problem since the 2-1 defeat at Burnley on February 10.
England midfielder Kieron Dyer and defender Danny Gabbidon (both hamstring) are not yet fully fit.
Herita Ilunga is set to miss out with a tendon injury while Luis Boa Morte (knee), Calum Davenport (leg) and Zavon Hines (knee) are all long-term absentees.
The victory over Hull on Saturday pushed West Ham into 13th place in the Premier League table and optimism has returned ahead of the trip to Old Tafford.
Midfielder Scott Parker said: "I said a few weeks ago when we were on a bit of a bad run of results that, if we could put two wins back-to-back, we could really go places.
"We've now got those two wins back-to-back and hopefully we can push on. We've had two good results against an in-form Birmingham and we came out worthy winners on Saturday.
"We've got a tough game at Manchester United and we go there with massive confidence.
"We all know how hard it is going to Old Trafford and they're coming off a little stinging at Everton but we'll go there and see what we can do.''

Puyol wary of Stuttgart threat
VfB Stuttgart v Barcelona
Barcelona captain Carles Puyol admits his side could be in for a bad night if they underestimate the threat posed by in-form Stuttgart in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
Barca make the trip to Germany having bounced back from their first league defeat of the season eight days ago against Atletico Madrid by thumping Racing Santander 4-0 on Saturday night.
That was the Catalan giants` sixth victory in seven league games, but they will now come up against a Stuttgart who are in just as good form.
Stuttgart may still be struggling down in ninth place in the Bundesliga but they too have won six of their last seven and at the weekend thrashed Cologne 5-1 away from home with Cacau netting four of his side's goals.
When the draw was made back in December Stuttgart were in the midst of a 10-match winless run in all competitions, but it is a different story now and a wary Puyol said: "They're playing better now and they are a dangerous team.
"If we don't go there focused, we could really have a bad time,'' added Puyol, who scored one of his side`s goals as they beat Stuttgart 2-0 away during the group stages of the 2007/08 Champions League.
Barca have struggled badly with absentees recently and the Champions League holders will again be without Seydou Keita and Eric Abidal.
Key duo Xavi and Dani Alves have at least made the trip to Germany, but neither has yet been given the all-clear to return to action following injuries.
Full-back Alves has been absent for a month due to a calf problem while Xavi picked up a thigh injury during the defeat to Atletico that had been expected to keep the Spain international out for around 15 days.
Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was a late withdrawal ahead of Saturday`s win over Racing with an ankle problem, has also been included in a 20-man travelling squad in the hope he will be fit to feature.
Stuttgart coach Christian Gross is likely to be without left-back Arthur Boka for both meetings against Barca after he suffered a dislocated shoulder in training prior to the Cologne match that could keep him sidelined for a month.
That was one of the few negatives on what was a memorable weekend for the Bundesliga outfit, which saw striker Cacau make a stunning return from his four-week injury lay-off.
"I was really looking forward to this game after my long break,'' said Cacau. "And the way the game went makes it particularly beautiful.''
Looking ahead to the clash, the Brazilian-born Germany international told Barca TV: "We've got nothing to lose. Barca are favourites and we maybe have a 20 or 30% chance of getting through, but we will be trying to make the most of our opportunities.
"We have to get a good result at home, because when Barca play at home it is very difficult to win. I hope they may be over confident and not commit themselves completely.''

Zairi won`t under-estimate Bordeaux
Olympiakos v Bordeaux
Olympiacos striker Jaouad Zairi is adamant Bordeaux will put their recent struggles behind them and pose a significant threat in their Champions League encounter.Les Girondins have not looked at their formidable best in recent games although they still lead the way in the Ligue 1 table.
And they can at least point to wins in their last two games as evidence they are back on track.
Neither the defeat of St Etienne, nor the win against a Lorient side down to 10 men for three-quarters of the game were convincing, however, results which came after losses to Monaco and Rennes.
The wobble has led to speculation in France that Laurent Blanc's men's air of invincibility has evaporated but Zairi is not convinced ahead of the first leg of their last-16 tie.
The former Sochaux and Nantes forward told RMC: "Bordeaux have no reason to worry. They have a quality squad with a great coach.
"Laurent Blanc is very influential and he can achieve a lot. We are doing a lot of video analysis on Bordeaux but first we are concentrating on our own game.
"We beat Arsenal in our own stadium and we will give the maximum to win.''
Having home advantage could be significant with the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens renowned for its atmosphere.
"It's very hot, the fans are fanatical,'' added Zairi. "The crowd is like our 12th man. They can turn the game around for us. The atmosphere is very impressive.''
Olympiacos' Serbian coach Bozidar Bantovic, who took over following the departure of Brazil legend Zico last month, is expected to be without Diogo and Luciano Galletti but fellow South American, midfielder Dudu, could return from injury.
Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud believes his team's position has changed now they are into the knockout stages.
Les Girondins were drawn alongside European giants Juventus and Bayern Munich, as well as Maccabi Haifa, in Group A and were expected to fight it out for third spot and a place in the Europa League with the Israelis.
But Blanc's men defied the odds by finishing top with five wins and a draw from their six games.
And having played the part of underdog, Triaud believes they are now favourites going into the Olympiacos tie.
He told RMC: "Olympiacos are a respectable opponent.
"Although not that much is known about them, we know they are hard to play against, especially at their home ground.
"Overall, we were happy with the draw as we avoided the larger teams.
"I would like to think we are favourites. Although that may not be the case in Athens, over the two legs, that is reasonable.''
Olympiacos drew 1-1 at Ergotelis on Saturday while Bordeaux were handed the weekend off by Ligue 1 authorities to give them more time to prepare for the trip east.
The visitors' only absentee is captain and midfielder Alou Diarra, who has a thigh injury.

Vidic back in contention
Manchester United v Portsmouth
Nemanja Vidic is back in contention as Manchester United look to reclaim the Premier League's top spot by beating crisis-club Portsmouth at Old Trafford.Vidic has been missing since suffering pain from a nerve in his leg prior to the encounter with Wigan at the end of December but has trained this week and could be involved - if not this weekend, then the crucial trip to Aston Villa on Wednesday.
Rio Ferdinand serves the second match of a four-game ban although United have appealed against the additional match imposed for a "frivolous'' appeal against the first one.
Edwin Van der Sar believes Manchester United have the awareness that separates them from the rest.
The Dutch goalkeeper is confident they can kick on and lift an unprecedented fourth successive title.
Van der Sar, 39, knows what it is like to have that winning mentality.
"Experience definitely helps,'' he told www.manutd.com. "You've been there before - through narrow escapes and must-win games. You know how to handle them. The more you go through these situations the better you are at dealing with them.
"There's a moment in your career where it clicks and you think `I`ve been in this situation before, I know what to do, I know what to expect'. That comes in handy sometimes."
Nigeria striker Kanu is expected to be back in the Portsmouth squad.
Nadir Belhadj, Hassan Yebda and Aruna Dindane all played in the 1-0 defeat at Fulham after their international duty ended.
On-loan defender Ricardo Rocha could make his debut having been on the bench at Craven Cottage.
Avram Grant has challenged his Portsmouth players to believe in themselves and give everything for the cause as the Barclays Premier League's bottom club look to pull of a shock at United.
Pompey remain cast adrift following the Fulham defeat. However, a battling display deserved a better result, with Grant's team more cohesive following the return of African Nations Cup trio Nadir Belhadj, Hassan Yebda and Aruna Dindane.
The off-field saga at Fratton Park continues, as Hong Kong-based businessman Balram Chainrai took control in a fourth change of ownership before he then declared "zero interest'' in completing a full-blown buy-out.
Pompey also face a winding-up order from HMRC over a £7.5million VAT bill, for which a High Court hearing is due next Wednesday. However Grant maintains his squad deserve great credit for producing consistent performances on the pitch, if not always getting their just rewards.
"We have shown over the past couple of months that when people thought we were down, we recovered and gave everything,'' said Grant. "I have no doubt the players will give everything again against Manchester United.
"When you see the fact that they keep coming onto the pitch, again and again, giving everything that is good. I always believe - and I do not want to see anyone in my team who does not believe. This is football - anything can happen.''

Chelsea fluff lines at Hull
Didier Drogba celebrated his return from African Nations Cup duty by notching his 20th goal of the season to spare Chelsea's blushes in a 1-1 draw against lowly Hull.
All eyes were, inevitably, on John Terry in his second match since allegations over his private life were made public but it was Hull centre-back Steven Mouyokolo who grabbed the limelight by heading the Barclays Premier League strugglers in front.
Drogba, in his first Blues match for a month, snared a point for the table-toppers when he drilled home a contested free-kick just before the interval.
Hull started confidently, winning corners on the left and right inside two minutes.
Chelsea repelled them safely but Stephen Hunt's delivery looked dangerous and the home side were assured in the opening minutes.
Terry started solidly and did not appear outwardly affected by the expected round of boos and chants.
In the ninth minute Frank Lampard had the first chance of the match, capping a nice passing move with a swerving shot at goal. Boaz Myhill could only parry it to Nicolas Anelka 10 yards out but the Frenchman fluffed his finish.
Drogba was also off-target as he blazed wide soon after.
Hunt was looking dangerous down the left for Hull and Branislav Ivanovic appeared unsettled by the bustling Irishman.
Chelsea should have taken the lead 25 minutes in when Deco's crossfield ball set Ivanovic free on the right and he arrowed a cross into the Hull area. Michael Ballack timed his run perfectly but headed tamely and straight at Myhill from close range.
Hull continued to give as good as they got, though, with crosses from Hunt and George Boateng both causing problems.
It was, then, no great surprise when Mouyokolo outjumped a number of Chelsea defenders, Terry included, to head home Hunt's 29th-minute corner.
Anelka and Deco failed to beat Myhill with low drives as Chelsea fought back and Anthony Gardner made good ground to dispossess Drogba as he shaped to shoot.
With three minutes to go before the break the Ivorian striker lashed home the equaliser with a disputed free-kick from just outside the penalty area.
Gardner missed a glorious chance to restore the lead before the break when he headed Tom Cairney's flighted free-kick over from just a couple of yards.
Terry was booked a minute after the restart for an ungainly leap with Jozy Altidore and it was almost a costly foul.
Hunt again sent in the cross and Altidore was left free in the box six yards out. He stooped to head goalwards but it looped up softly off the back of his head.
Ivanovic forced another parried save from Myhill in the 50th minute but when the loose ball was cut back across goal Lampard skied his shot.
Hull were furious when Mark Clattenburg deemed Ricardo Carvalho's risky challenge on Altidore legal, but there was more to worry about at the other end as the hour-mark approached. First Drogba and then Terry drew Myhill into action with strong headed efforts as the hosts failed to clear a corner.
Five minutes later Amr Zaki came off the bench for his second Tigers appearance and immediately had some joy as he got the better of Yury Zhirkov to reach the byline.
Ancelotti introduced a fresh playmaker of his own with 19 minutes to play, Joe Cole replacing the off-colour Ballack.
Chelsea's defending at set-pieces continued to falter as Hunt and Mouyokolo combined again with a near-post corner, though this time the defender headed wide.
Drogba was also off-target in the 77th minute, heading over Ivanovic's curling delivery as last man Myhill charged off his line.
Drogba was booked late on for a frustrated flick at Paul McShane and Myhill ensured the Tigers held on to a valuable point as he stretched to save Daniel Sturridge's late strike.

Carling Cup: Manchester United 3 - 1 Manchester City
Manchester United 3 - 1 Manchester City
United are through to Wembley after winning 4-3 on aggregate, Rooney the late hero. Thank you for all your comments, they were all much appreciated.
90+3 Webb looks at his watch...
Rooney just might have sent United to Wembley. Giggs bends in a classy cross and Rooney powers a close-range header into the goal. 4-3 United on aggregate.
90+2 GOAL - Rooney scores for United!!!
90+1 Three minutes of added time will be played.
90 Valencia enters the fray for Nani, who has had a fairly decent game.
88 Ferdinand makes a massive challenge on Tevez, who was set to wind up for a shot at goal.
87 Opportunity for Adebayor as Bellamy digs out a cross. But the striker's header is very poor indeed.
84 It's on a knife-edge here. Just for the record, away goals do not come into effect until extra-time, if we get to that point.
81 Carrick goes mighty close. Excellent attack from United and Kompany does everything he can to block out the shot. It finally falls to Carrick, whose effort zips wide of the far post.
80 Rooney's earlier miss when the scoreline was 2-0 could really prove to be costly now. Impossible to criticise the man though - 20 goals for the season remember.
78 Incredible drama, eh. City now have their tails up.
Bellamy sends in a curling cross and Tevez angles the shot past Van der Sar. A fine finish from the striker. All level overall now!
Goal76 GOAL - Tevez scores for City!!!
Substitution75 Brown is on for Rafael.
73 Massive miss. Rooney puts it wide from just six yards out. It came at him at some pace, but he really should have scored.
Substitution72 Adebayor is on for City, replacing SWP
Fletcher runs onto a through ball and is pushed away from goal, but he tees up Carrick, who arrows in a composed finish that clips the post on its way into goal. United lead on aggregate now.
Goal71 GOAL - Carrick scores for United!!!
70 Nope. Webb just gives everyone a right good rollicking.
69 Could be some cards handed out here after Richards and Fletcher clash.
68 Zabaleta is at left-back.
67 City work a clever set-piece and they see the ball flash over the bar. Might have been a push from Bellamy during that passage of play, but Webb did not see it.
Yellow Card65 Booking for Nani after he apparently catches Zabaleta.
Substitution64 Ireland is on for Garrido. Zabaleta at left-back maybe?
64 United are hitting the right channel with long and early balls time and time again. Nani is enjoying plenty of the ball.
61 Amazing cross from Nani from the right channel. It dribbles along the six-yard area but Boyata lunges and hammers it over the bar for a corner.
59 It's all United now. City's clearances are just coming straight back at them.
58 Carnage in the City area as a cross pings about all over the place. They scramble clear.
56 Terrific defending from Kompany, who makes a last-ditch block as Rooney looks to bundle the ball home.
54 City respond to the goal well with some slick passing.
Rooney takes a superb touch and then searched out Giggs with a wonderful pass. The Welshman rather wastes the attack but a deflection falls kindly for Scholes, who blasts home with a low effort.
Goal52 GOAL - Scholes scores for United!!!
51 Oh dear. Bellamy down after seemingly being hit by an object thrown from the crowd. A coin certainly hits him on the head. He is back on is feet. Shocking behaviour from a section of fans there.
50 Super tempo at the beginning of this half.
Yellow Card48 Booking for Tevez, who is penalised for a strong tackle on Rafael. It is getting fiery now.
47 That is some strike. Richards shows excellent strength and runs at the United defence. He hits a corker of a left-footed strike at goal and Van der Sar is forced to reach high at the top corner and parry wide.
46 City get the second half under way.
20.57 We are seeing some replays of when Ferdinand tracked back to squeeze out that mazy run from Tevez. There is possibly a half-shout for a penalty there. Webb probably got it just right though.
20.55 The majority of United fans getting in contact do not seem to happy. They are calling for a change, possibly Berbatov on to play alongside Rooney.
Goalless at the break but City of course lead 2-1 on aggregate. Mancini will be a happy chappy after that 45 minutes. Both sides had half-chances, with Tevez's diving header arguably the opportunity of the half.
Half TimeHalf-time.
45 One minute added time will be played.
44 Smart work from Zabaleta allows SWP to have a pop at range. But the strike is straight at the keeper.
42 Rafael is a little lucky to avoid a caution after he goes in very rashly on Bellamy.
41 United are trying to increase the tempo of the game, which has gone a little bit flat in the past few minutes.
38 Nani crosses in a free-kick from the left but Richards is there as he rises well to nod away from goal.
Yellow Card36 Scholes is the first player into the book for a late and rather crude tackle into the ankles of SWP.
35 The biggest cheer of the night so far comes when United's goalkeeper and defence pop the ball around with Tevez chasing hopefully but hopelessly.
33 Another chance for United. They put together a brilliant move which threatens to break down only for Boyata to slip. Carrick crosses and Given smothers with Rooney waiting to slot home.
32 Fine stop from Given. Giggs has a snap shot on the edge of the area and the powerful strike is saved well by the City keeper, who was forced to get down quickly.
31 Almost 1-0 City. Bellamy surges down the left channel and fires in a lowish cross. Tevez meets it with a diving header and Van der Sar is forced to make a smart save. Close shave for United.
29 Barry is perhaps lucky to escape without a booking after a very obvious handball in the centre of the park.
27 Zabaleta goes down off the ball after catching Rooney. Webb does very well and diffuses the situation, with no cards drawn.
25 Frightening run from Tevez as he uses pace and then trickery to scare the United defence. He is finally ushered out as Van der Sar gathers. There was real danger there.
23 Best effort of the game. SWP gets the better of Evra and picks out Bellamy with a cross. It is quite a way out for the Welshman, whose header is on target but comfortable for Van der Sar.
21 Tevez is down holding his face after Ferdinand catches the Argentine in the face with his arm. Webb remains calm over the issue and play is to continue without any card dealt out.
19 Half-chance for Ferdinand as he finds himself unmarked at the near post from a United corner. But the defender's flick flashes wide of the post.
17 Brilliant teasing cross from Nani but Boyata is positioned well to head the ball away from the lurking Rooney.
16 United defend the corner well and they counter from the clearance. But Rooney's pass is cut out by the back-tracking SWP.
15 City keep the ball for a while, which is a vast improvement. Their play wins them a corner.
13 Giggs' free-kick is headed away but only to a lurking Scholes, who hits first time from some distance as the fierce effort zooms a few yards over the bar.
12 Chance for United here after Zabaleta commits a foul near the corner flag.
11 United are pressing so well in the middle of the park. City are struggling to cope with it.
10 A change of right glove for Given. Thought you might like to know.
9 Sheer quality from Rooney as he pull down a long ball from Giggs before unleashing an effort at goal. It is a little central and Given is there to pick up.
8 Nani is penalised for a late clip on Zabaleta. No card but a stern telling off for the winger from ref Webb.
7 City win a free-kick and Barry drops a ball in the area but the cross is not good and Van der Sar gathers with ease.
6 United win a third corner but again it is cleared. United have a second bite of the cherry with an Evra cross but Fletcher's header is quite a way off target.
5 It comes to nothing as the cross is very poor. United on the front foot at present.
5 But Giggs' delivery is headed well away from danger. The atmosphere is electric. It's another corner to United...
4 Scholes picks out Nani with a class ball and the latter wins a corner.
3 Barry bends one in but Ferdinand is there to head clear.
2 Giggs breathes a huge sigh of relief as his backwards pass is sloppy and Tevez almost capitalises. Early corner for City...
1 Kick-off: Manchester United get the game under way.
Ferdinand risks four-game ban by appealing charge
Rio Ferdinand has appealed against the violent conduct charge levelled against him for his clash with Hull's Craig Fagan and will therefore be allowed to play against Manchester City in the Carling Cup. However, he risks increasing any ban if he is found guilty.
Ferdinand has decided to plead 'not guilty' to the Football Association's charge for swinging his arm at Fagan during the 4-0 win on Saturday, despite being advised not to by the club's disciplinary experts.
The decision (which had to be made by 6pm on Wednesday) means he will be able to face Roberto Mancini's City side at Old Trafford in the semi-finals of the Carling Cup, but risks being handed a four-match ban later this week if the charge is proven.
The FA's disciplinary committee will review the case within 24 hours and, if they find Ferdinand guilty, are able to increase a possible three-match suspension by an extra game because of his ''frivolous'' appeal - as was the case with Sunderland's Michael Turner last month.
This would result in Ferdinand missing league games against Arsenal, Portsmouth and Aston Villa, while the fourth match of any ban would take in United's away trip to Everton next month.
A Regulatory Commission will hear the charge on Thursday 28 January.

Manchester City vs Manchester United: Carling Cup Preview and Prediction
Follow the action as it unfolds with WSN’s Livescore!
1/27 20:00 GMT Manchester City at Manchester United – Odds | Stats
After a week full of trash talk and controversy, the Carling Cup semifinal second leg could not come fast enough. Manchester United hosts city rivals Manchester City Wednesday evening at Old Trafford. There are certainly not a lack of storylines for this one. The Gary Neville – Carlos Tevez middle finger saga, Tevez sticking it to his old club, Robinho about to be loaned. The list goes on… Just make sure you tune into this one folks. I have a feeling you won’t want to miss it.
Manchester City:
The Citizens, under new boss Roberto Mancini, have been quite exceptional winning all their matches other than their recent 2-0 falter to Everton last weekend at Goodison Park. They probably owe a majority, if not all, of the credit that is due to former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez who has been extraordinary in picking up the goal scoring slack as Emmanuel Adebayor attended to his Togolese National Team duties for the African Nations Cup. Tevez truly seems to show up when City needs him most and as he makes his return to Old Trafford, don’t expect to see anything different. On the flip side of things, star Brazilian forward Robinho has been in the news a lot recently amidst his lack of form and especially now being linked with a loan deal to Brazilian clubs Sao Paulo or his former clubs Santos. He did however score in City’s recent 4-2 FA Cup win over Scunthorpe United so hopefully that will get the world class talent back on track. Mancini says Robinho will be available although it is uncertain whether or not he will see the pitch. In other news, Adebayor and Kolo Toure are scheduled to return from the African Nations Cup. Toure is expected to play while Adebayor will likely be on the bench as he is not yet fit from being away on compassionate leave after the attack on the Togolese Team bus in Africa. Also expected to be unavailable from injuries are Wayne Bridge, Michael Johnson, and Joleon Lescott (all knee injuries), as well as Roque Santa Cruz and newly acquired Patrice Vieira (both calf).
Manchester United:
Manchester United made big strides this week by recapturing the top spot in the Premiership table (or at least for the time being) after their 4-0 defeat of Hull City. Perhaps it’s better described as “Rooney’s 4-0 defeat” seeing as the Wonderboy scored all 4 goals but who’s counting? Anyways, they seem to be hitting stride just as they always do this time of year and they’ll get a chance to show it as they gun for their first trophy of the decade. The big stir in the past 7 days has of course been about Gary Neville’s obscene gesture that was directed towards Carlos Tevez after the Argentine scored and proceeded to give the United bench the “Shhhhh” signal. I don’t know about you guys but I’m pretty sure Gary Neville is like 60 years old and I’m definitely sure he was sitting on the bench so I’m not sure what the hell he’s running his mouth for but whatever. At least it gives us something fun to talk about. It has certainly added to the storyline and given Sir Alex an extra barrage of questions to answer so for that Gary, I thank you. The good news for Fergie, however, is that he is heading into Wednesday’s showdown with what appears to be a full and healthy lineup. The only question mark is with Rio Ferdinand who featured for his first time in three months against Hull City only to receive a red card and a violent charge from the FA after clashing with Craig Fagan. Other than, full green light for the Red Devils.
Match Facts:
- Manchester United are the defending Carling Cup champions (sorry, forgot to mention that..)
- Manchester City has only lost 2 of their previous 21 matches in all competitions
- Sir Alex Ferguson has advanced to the League Cup finals 6 out of 7 semifinal appearances
Prediction:
After last week’s Tevez-Neville dispute, the FA is anticipating a rowdy crowd and has called for extra police assistance in anticipation of any fan related issues. Not that Old Trafford won’t be rocking already but this is evidence that it’s going to be a special night. This certainly does not play to City’s advantage. They are up 2-1 heading into the 2-legged match so a 1-0 defeat would be the end of them on away goals. With all this buzz surrounding the match, I just think United at home will be too much for the Citizens to handle. But with Tevez the Bulldog playing like he is, anything is possible.
Pick:
Manchester United 2 – 1 Manchester City

Manchester United v Hull City : Ferdinand back for Reds
Manchester United v Hull City
Rio Ferdinand will make his long-awaited return for Manchester United against Hull on Saturday.The England defender has been missing for three months with a back complaint but is expected to partner Jonny Evans in central defence as United look for the victory that would allow them to claim top spot in the Premier League.
Dimitar Berbatov has shaken off a dead leg and should also return after missing Tuesday's Carling Cup defeat at Manchester City.
Sir Alex Ferguson has called on his side to hit the accelerator as the Premier League title campaign enters another crucial phase.
With their interest in the FA Cup over at an early stage, United have the chance to jump above Chelsea and current leaders Arsenal by claiming top spot for the first time since October.
In the last week Chelsea have put seven goals past Sunderland and Arsenal roared back against Bolton in midweek to seize pole position on goal difference barely a month after being completely written off.
So, with the London duo flexing their muscles and other pretenders failing to beat opposition from much lower in the table, the title race is taking shape.
And Ferguson does not want to be left behind.
"You have to win your games now,'' he said. "Top of the league is the best place to be. Our game is the only one in Premier League so it is an opportunity for us.''
Hull City's new loan signing Amr Zaki will not be available due to a lack of match fitness.
However defender Kamil Zayatte is expected to be despite an ankle injury. The problem requires minor surgery but that is likely to take place next month.
Jimmy Bullard (knee) is likely to be out until the end of the month.
City manager Phil Brown believes his players are capable of staging another surprise in Manchester to lift the Tigers out of the bottom three.
The match at Old Trafford is the only Premier League game of a weekend dominated by the FA Cup, and having already drawn at Manchester City this season Brown insists the same can be done against United.
Visits to Manchester have dominated Hull's continuing rollercoaster ride in the Premier League - a thrilling 4-3 defeat at Old Trafford last season was followed by the infamous half-time team talk on the pitch at Manchester City.
This season Jimmy Bullard inspired a 1-1 draw at Eastlands and though he will be missing against Sir Alex Ferguson's side, Brown says his players - brimming with confidence after a goalless draw at Tottenham - can capitalise on a United side who are not in the best form with just one win in their last four games.
Brown said: "We have to take the same togetherness, the same spirit and the same mentality that we had at White Hart Lane last week.
"If we bring that to the table, I think there is a great opportunity for a result to follow.
"There's references from last season for us having taken United so close at Old Trafford and scoring three goals there.
"But I'm not sure there's any such thing as a good time to play Manchester United.''
