Fergie may wait on Nani

Alex Ferguson may resist the temptation to draft Nani straight back into his Manchester United starting line-up at West Brom tomorrow.

The Portuguese winger has missed the Christmas programme so far due to a minor hip complaint and although he has returned to training, Ferguson is thinking about keeping him out until the clash with Stoke next Tuesday.

Darren Fletcher is amongst those expecting a recall at The Hawthorns as United look to secure only their second away win this season.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Rafael, Brown, Neville, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Smalling, Evans, Evra, Fabio, Nani, Obertan, Carrick, Fletcher, Gibson, Anderson, Giggs, Bebe, Rooney, Berbatov, Macheda, Hernandez, Owen.
