Carlos Tevez, fresh from goals against Manchester City and Wigan, will hope for a starting berth, as will experienced duo Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, while Darren Fletcher is virtually certain to start knowing he must sit out the Champions League final.

Rio Ferdinand (calf) is definitely out and will be joined in the stands by 100 and 200 metres Olympic champion Usain Bolt, a United fan who is in the city for a 150m sprint race on Sunday.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, Rafael, O'Shea, Neville, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Ronaldo, Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Anderson, Park, Giggs, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, Macheda.
