| Team News: United still have doubts over Wayne Rooney, who is carrying a groin injury. Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville emerged unscathed from England's friendly win over Greece, and should be fit to face the Cottagers. Doubts also remain over Michael Carrick, Alan Smith and Nemanja Vidic. Fulham, meanwhile, are at full strength except for the injured Steed Malbranque and Simon Elliott.
Pre-Season: Last Saturday's solid 3-0 win over Sevilla was United's final friendly, and Sir Alex Ferguson would have enjoyed his pre-season campaign more without the accumulation of several key injuries and suspensions. Fulham, meanwhile, go into Sunday's game buoyed by an unbeaten warm-up period and almost a clean bill of health.
