Uefa Champions League, Group E – Man Utd v Villarreal
Venue: Old Trafford Date: Wednesday, 17 September Kick-off: 1945 BST
Just time for a very short preview today. United have to bounce back from the defeat to Liverpool on Saturday with a good win against Villarreal in the Champions League. Last night both Liverpool and Chelsea won, so it is even more important to get a morale boosting win before the game at Stanford Bridge.
Scholes is suspended following the Super Cup, Carrick is out with a broken foot and Berbatov is a doubt with knee trouble (I hope Dimitar isn’t a direct replacement for Louis Saha in the injury department as well). However, tonight could see the return of Christiano Ronaldo after an operation and a summer of transfer rumoured discontent. Virrarreal will be without ex-United player Giuseppe Rossi who would have received an excellent reception from the United crowd.
