Squad VS Roma

Mikael Silvestre joined United's first-team squad travelling to Rome on Monday morning, with the only major absentee being Nani.

Silvestre hasn't played for the first-team since injury knee ligaments against Everton in September, while Nani is still suffering from a thigh strain.

United had injury concerns over Michael Carrick, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs, who all came off in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa.

But all four travel, as does Edwin van der Sar, who sat out the match, although there is no place for Louis Saha, who is still suffering with a hamstring complaint.

The French forward's absence means a chance for 17-year-old Danny Welbeck - still waiting for his first United start - as one of only three strikers in the 21-man travelling squad.

United squad: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton; O'Shea, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evra, Silverstre; Anderson, Ronaldo , Park, Hargreaves, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Eagles; Tevez, Rooney, Welbeck


Nani is still injuried....Looks like Sir Alex will be playing 4-5-1 again...
