Manchester United have reported no fresh injury concerns for their Champions League match with Benfica in Lisbon tomorrow.

Mikael Silvestre (ankle), Ryan Giggs (hamstring) and Park Ji-Sung (ankle) had already been ruled out. But the rest of the Red Devils squad are fit as they look to avenge their defeat against the same opponents last year – a result which sent them tumbling out of Europe before Christmas for the first time in a decade.

Louis Saha seems almost certain to earn a recall up front, where he is likely to partner Wayne Rooney – who has not scored a Champions League goal since his hat-trick on his United debut against Fenerbahce two years ago.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Heinze, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Richardson, O’Shea, Jones, Ronaldo, Saha, Rooney, Solskjaer, Smith.
