A fit Gary Neville set to regain his place in United’s starting lineup
Neville came on as substitute in the 3-1 win over Charlton on Saturday in a second-half reshuffle which saw brother Phil move into midfield and John O'Shea switch to the left-back role.
With Mikael Silvestre unlikely to be fit to face the Greeks with a knee injury and Nicky Butt doubtful, after taking a blow to his back which forced him out of The Valley victory, the senior Neville is ready to regain his place as United look to defend their 100% Champions League record this season.
''Gary was fantastic after he came on and he may well start on Tuesday,'' said manager Sir Alex Ferguson,
''Nicky struggled on for a bit after the injury but we had to take him off in the end and we will need to check how he is. Mikael is pretty doubtful though.''
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful Juan Sebastian Veron will have shaken off the flu virus which prevented him making the capital trip while Ruud van Nistelrooy showed few ill-effects from the hamstring injury which forced him off against Bayer Leverkusen, netting for the fourth successive game as United came from behind to grab maximum points.
Of particular delight for Ferguson was the form of Paul Scholes who filled in for Veron after spending less than three weeks on the sidelines following knee surgery.
The England star dragged United back into the contest with a second-half equaliser and, dropping into his favoured central midfield role after half time, looked a class act.
"There are few better at coming into attacking situations from central midfield," admitted Ferguson.
"He has the craft to create openings with one pass. He is a clever little player and to say he only came back to training last Sunday, he has done really well."
Star of the show for Ferguson though was Welsh winger Ryan Giggs, who effectively grabbed the winner eight minutes from time with an impish piece of skill which left Addicks goalkeeper Dean Kiely stranded.
Latching onto van Nistelrooy's square ball, Giggs dummied his way to an open goal despite it appearing that he would shoot first time.
"I didn't fancy hitting it first time because the keeper had read the shot," he said. "I just controlled it and ended up with an open goal, so it was quite easy in the end."
Giggs' pass to van Nistelrooy set the Dutchman up for United's third.with the United winger admitting he daren't do anything else.
''I had a chance to set Ruud up earlier in the game but the keeper managed to save it,'' he said.
''I got a dirty look after that so I thought I'd better pass to him at the end.
''It was important to keep our winning run going but we had to be patient after going behind.
''We know what we are capable of, our defence is steady and providing we keep doing the right things, it is looking good.''
Meanwhile, Charlton manager Alan Curbishley reckons Roy Keane's return from injury and possible suspension will be the "driving force" behind United's recovering title campaign.
Keane is said to be making "fantastic" progress in his recovery programme after surgery and could even be fit to play again by United's trip to Fulham on October 19.
That is, if and it is a major if he escapes a ban four days earlier when he appears on two misconduct charges following his apparent admission he targeted Alf Inge Haaland for a revenge tackle.
Curbishley believes Keane's eventual return will re-energise his team-mates and warned their title chances "should be underestimated at your peril".
He added: ''If Keane comes back anything like he was when he left, then he is the heart and soul of their side. Alex paid us a compliment by not resting anybody but he needs all his players so he can rotate a little bit.''
Curbishley believes Keane provides United with the same ''safety-net'' as Patrick Vieira.
