Manchester United welcome back Andy Cole and Jaap Stam as Alex Ferguson has almost a full squad to choose from. Aston Villa are the visitors to Old Trafford tomorrow, and with only Paul Scholes absent with a rib injury, Fergie is spoiled for choice.
Changes are expected, and with Cole and Stam ready to start their first home game in months. Dutch defender Stam has not played at Old Trafford since September 9 and Cole's last appearance in front of the home fans was in the Champions' League game against Dynamo Kiev on November 8.
Both featured in last weekend's win at Bradford City, where Stam started and Cole came on as a second-half substitute. Nicky Butt, who took a kick on the hip during the FA Cup tie at Fulham a fortnight ago, should also return to the squad. Ferguson will be faced with a striking dilemma, with Cole, Teddy Sheringham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Dwight Yorke all competing for places.
