United fighting fit

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson will have his strongest squad of the season to choose from for Blackburn’s visit on Sunday.

There are no injury concerns following the 4-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in midweek, although Gary Neville is still unlikely to figure despite having made a comeback in the reserves.

The only other absentees are those with long term-injuries – Mikael Silvestre, Paul Scholes, Park Ji-sung and Ben Foster.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evans, Evra, Simpson, Ronaldo, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Eagles, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Saha, Rooney, Tevez.
