Manchester United (v Benfica) team news

Wayne Rooney has had precious little to celebrate this season
Wayne Rooney has had precious little to celebrate this season

Manchester United have reported no fresh injury concerns for their Champions League match with Benfica in Lisbon tomorrow.

Mikael Silvestre (ankle), Ryan Giggs (hamstring) and Park Ji-Sung (ankle) had already been ruled out. But the rest of the Red Devils squad are fit as they look to avenge their defeat against the same opponents last year - a result which sent them tumbling out of Europe before Christmas for the first time in a decade.

Louis Saha seems almost certain to earn a recall up front, where he is likely to partner Wayne Rooney - who has not scored a Champions League goal since his hat-trick on his United debut against Fenerbahce two years ago.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Heinze, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Richardson, O'Shea, Jones, Ronaldo, Saha, Rooney, Solskjaer, Smith.
