Trio return for Red Devils

Rio Ferdinand, Carlos Tevez and Wes Brown are all expected to shake off minor knocks as Manchester United look to maintain winning ways at Old Trafford by beating Everton in the Barclays Premier League.

The trio all left Anfield last weekend with injuries picked up in the win over Liverpool, but manager Alex Ferguson confirmed they have all now returned to training and should be involved against the Toffeemen on Sunday.

Park Ji-sung is unlikely to figure, having missed out on a reserve-team appearance at Oldham this week. But the South Korean is expected to have some involvement over the festive period after recovering from cruciate knee-ligament surgery.

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