Makeshift defence for injury-hit United

Alex Ferguson has chosen Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher as his central defensive combination as injury-hit Manchester United take on Wolfsburg looking to secure top spot in Champions League Group B.

With 12 players missing through injury, Ryan Giggs suspended and Ritchie De Laet ineligible, Ferguson has been forced to select a scratch side that also includes Park Ji-sung at right-back.

Tomasz Kuszczak keeps his place in goal with United needing to keep out Erin Dzeko and company to collect the point required to finish top, or hope CSKA Moscow beat Besiktas in Istanbul.
