Silvestre doubtful for United

Mikael Silvestre is a doubt for Manchester United’s Premiership clash with Wigan tomorrow night.

According to manager Alex Ferguson, the French defender picked up a “slight knock” during Sunday’s draw with Everton, so Wes Brown is standing by for a recall.

Top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy also returns from suspension, so Louis Saha is likely to find himself back on the substitutes’ bench.

Provisional squad: Van der Sar, Howard, Neville, Bardsley, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Brown, O’Shea, Richardson, Ronaldo, Scholes, Smith, Fletcher, Park, Giggs, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Saha, Rossi.
