Wayne Rooney and Jonny Evans are Manchester United's major doubts. Rooney sustained an ankle injury during last week's win at Aston Villa, when Evans missed out completely with a groin problem. Robin van Persie is expected to be available after missing Holland's midweek friendly with Germany.

Sir Alex Ferguson: “Certainly after last Saturday’s experience we don’t want to lose two goals and be having to fight back all the time. That’s certainly an Achilles heel on the one hand this season. The fact we’ve got players who can change the course of the game is certainly a big advantage to us. When Chicharito came on last week the game changed completely. You actually don’t expect it. You don’t expect to be behind by two goals. That’s the part that you always find difficult. It’s not that we underestimate anyone - it’s just that we don’t expect a Manchester United team to be behind."

= Dangermen!


Norwich will again be without defender Russell Martin (back). Midfielder Alex Tettey pulled out of the Norway squad for their midweek friendly with Hungary with a minor back problem, but should be available. On-loan Tottenham striker Harry Kane continues his recovery from a broken metatarsal.

Chris Hughton: "I was under no illusions about the scale of the task I was taking on at Norwich, so I can't say I'm surprised by what I've found here. Given the resources this club has, the strength of the squad and the quality of opposition we are up against on a weekly basis, I would say this is the toughest task I have taken on in my career."
