The Red Devils will be without half a dozen senior men through injury against Boro, with skipper Gary Neville the latest addition to a growing list after he suffered ankle ligament damage in yesterday’s win over Bolton.

Wes Brown will replace Neville in Ferguson’s starting line-up, while Alan Smith may take over striking responsibilities from Ryan Giggs.

Team (from): Kuszczak, Heaton, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Cathcart, Heinze, Evra, Park, Carrick, O’Shea, Ronaldo, Giggs, Richardson, Smith, Rooney, Dong.
