United sweating on injured trio

Alex Ferguson will take a check on a trio of minor knocks before finalising his Manchester United line-up to face Bolton at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Chris Smalling and Phil Jones have taken time to get over problems they sustained in a collision during last Sunday’s FA Cup win over Manchester City, while Anderson took a blow in training this week.

Ferguson must also decide whether Paul Scholes is fit enough to take a starting berth after his shock retirement U-turn last weekend.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evra, Jones, Fryers, Cole, Carrick, Valencia, Park, Anderson, Nani, Giggs, Rooney, Welbeck, Berbatov, Hernandez, Diouf, Keane.
