CRISTIANO Ronaldo and Nemanja Vidic are both in contention to face Sporting
Lisbon after United completed preparations for their Champions League
encounter at Old Trafford.
The duo were key absentees from Saturday's shock Barclays Premier League
defeat at Bolton, with Vidic particularly missed as his replacement Gerard Pique
made the mistake that gifted Nicolas Anelka his winner.
Sir Alex Ferguson had suggested neither Vidic's minor back problem nor the thigh
strain Ronaldo picked up on international duty last week would have eased
sufficiently for them to figure against Sporting.
However, they were able to take part in training, along with a remainder of
Ferguson's weekend squad.
Having registered four straight wins in Group F so far, United are already assured
of their place in the last 16.
Ferguson would hope to secure top spot and a more favourable knockout-round
draw, although this may not prevent him giving some of his fringe men, such as
Pique, Anderson, Jonny Evans and Danny Simpson more first-team experience.
Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton, Brown, Simpson,
Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evra, Evans, O'Shea, Nani, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Hargreaves,
Anderson, Eagles, Carrick, Giggs, Saha, Tevez.
