Ronaldo and Neville to return

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gary Neville both look set to be involved in Manchester United’s Champions League encounter with FC Copenhagen tomorrow after returning to training this morning.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gary Neville both look set to be involved in Manchester United’s Champions League encounter with FC Copenhagen tomorrow after returning to training this morning.

The duo missed Saturday’s win at Wigan, Ronaldo with an ankle injury and skipper Neville after picking up a calf injury during England’s defeat in Croatia last week.

However, they were both able to train with their United team-mates at Carrington this morning, and providing they suffer no reaction, should start at Old Trafford as United look to maintain their 100% start in Group F.

Neville would almost certainly replace Wes Brown at right-back, while Ronaldo’s return may come at the expense of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who netted his fifth goal of the season at the JJB Stadium this weekend.

The only major doubt for United is Gabriel Heinze, who is still struggling with a hamstring strain.

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