Rooney and Evra suspended for Derby match

Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra are suspended for Manchester United in Sunday’s derby match at Old Trafford.

With Louis Saha (knee) still injured Sir Alex Ferguson is short of strikers and may even look to 17-year-old Danny Welbeck, who has been brought into the senior squad for the rest of the season, to play a part against Manchester City.

Gary Neville (ankle) is back in training but will not return to action for a couple of weeks.

Provisional squad: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, O’Shea, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Fletcher, Nani, Park, Scholes, Ronaldo, Anderson, Carrick, Hargreaves, Giggs, Tevez, Welbeck.
