UNITED took a strong 24-man squad to Moscow
to prepare for the Champions League final
on Wednesday against Chelsea.
The party, led by manager Sir Alex Ferguson,
flew out of Manchester Airport at lunchtime
on a private charter.
Ferguson has already admitted he will have a tough job,
not just picking a team but choosing his seven substitutes.
It means six players will be left watching the game
from the stands at the Luzhniki Stadium.
Paul Scholes has been promised a place in the starting line-up
after missing the European Cup victory in 1999 through suspension.
It might also be a memorable night for Ryan Giggs
as he is poised to overtake Sir Bobby Charlton's
club record of 758 appearances.
Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Brown, Neville, O'Shea, Silvestre, Pique, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Park, Nani, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Saha, Welbeck.
