Edwin Van der Sar is in line to return to the Manchester United team for the Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona tomorrow.

The Holland goalkeeper travelled to Spain with the rest of the squad this morning after missing the draw against Blackburn because of a groin strain.

Wayne Rooney suffered a hip injury in that match but he too joined the squad and looks certain to feature at the Nou Camp.

Owen Hargreaves and Anderson are also in contention after they were ruled out of the game at Ewood Park with minor injuries.

Gary Neville made his first trip abroad in a year after a long-standing ankle problem while Darren Fletcher was also in the party as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

Provisional squad: Van der Sar, Neville, Evra, Hargreaves, Ferdinand, Brown, Ronaldo, Anderson, Rooney, Giggs, Park, Vidic, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Pique, O’Shea, Fletcher, Silvestre, Kuszczak, Tevez, Heaton, Welbeck.
