Neville only absentee for United

Alex Ferguson has almost a full-strength squad to choose from for Manchester United’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Arsenal.

Only Gary Neville is missing after injuring his foot last week but John O’Shea is fit and could start at right-back at Old Trafford ahead of 18-year-old Brazilian Rafael.

Ferguson’s main dilemma will be how attacking to make his starting line-up – in the second half against Tottenham on Saturday Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo all played together.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, Rafael, O’Shea, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Ronaldo, Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Berbatov, Rooney.
