Team News
Man Utd
Cluj
- Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to make a raft of changes to the side that won at Reading with the Red Devils already assured of top spot in Group H.
- With the likes of Anderson, Nani, Kagawa and Valencia all sidelined, however, his options in midfield are slim, so Powell is likely to start with Giggs set to bring the experience in the middle of the park.
- At the back Jones, Smalling and Buttner are all certain to start, while the game is likely to come too soon for returning captain Nemanja Vidic.
- Cluj have the likes of Ciprian Deac and Adam Vass back from injury but neither were named in their Champions League squad due to long term absences, so both are ineligible here.
- Bakary Sare and Ronny will remain sidelined for some time, so there will be very few changes to the side that beat Braga last time out.
- Up front Bastos, supported by hat-trick hero from the last round Rui Pedro, should lead the line ahead of Kapetanos, who opened the scoring the last time these sides met.
What an opportunity for Cluj! Be great to see them make it through to the next round, and united will rest most of their team. Reckon they might even manage a draw. So it's down to Galatasaray's result
