TEAM NEWS
Wayne Rooney will miss Manchester United's match against Bolton because of a
calf injury he suffered during England's defeat in Ukraine last week.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar will make his first appearance of the season,
but Dimitar Berbatov could miss out following the birth of his first child.
Sam Ricketts is a doubt for Bolton after pulling out of Wales' World Cup
qualifiers with an ankle problem.
Wanderers have no other fresh injury concerns for the trip to Old Trafford.
United have matches against CSKA Moscow and Liverpool coming up, and Ferguson
is hopeful that Rooney will at least be fit for the latter.

MATCH PREVIEW
- Having been forced to apologise for questioning the fitness of referee Alan
Wiley, Sir Alex Ferguson will need to show restraint on Saturday. It might
not be easy, as he has history against Bolton and referee Mark Clattenburg.
- During a 1-0 defeat at Bolton in November 2007, Sir Alex was sent to the
stands, given a two-match touchline ban and fined ￡5,000 for using
"insulting words" against Clattenburg.
- That victory was Gary Megson's first as Bolton boss and arguably the pinnacle
of his popularity among Bolton fans. A first win at Old Trafford since 2002
would go a long way in thawing what has always been a frosty relationship.
- As for Ferguson, having returned from his own international break in New
York, he was asked to explain his comments about Wiley to the Football
Association on Friday. His apology has been called 'half-hearted' by the
referees' union.
- Incidentally, Clattenburg seems to bring out the worst in Manchester United
- they have taken only one point from the last four games officiated by him.

Lawro's predictions United 2-0 Bolton
What you have to say about Bolton under Gary Megson, similar to when Sam
Allardyce was manager, is that they will give United a proper physical
battle.
They won't give away easy goals so United will have to earn their victory,
but Sir Alex Ferguson has the advantage of being able to change his team and
have that great insurance on the bench.
Sunderland gave them a real scare at Old Trafford last time around, but this
should be more comfortable.
