Soccer: United pair set to return

Jaap Stam and Nicky Butt are expected to shrug off minor injuries to be available for Manchester United's home match against Charlton.

Stam suffered a slight groin injury against Bayern Munich last week, while Butt also picked up a knock.

Sir Alex Ferguson expects both to recover to provide him with a full strength squad for the visit of Alan Curbishley's side to Old Trafford.

Victory against Charlton will leave United needing just six more points to guarantee their seventh Premier League title in nine years.
