from a back injury against Hull.
Nemanja Vidic remains sidelined with a calf complaint, but Dimitar Berbatov
has recovered from a dead leg.
Hull City boss Phil Brown will monitor Kamil Zayatte's ankle injury, but

MATCH PREVIEW
- Manchester United will go top of the Premier League table if they maintain
their 100% Premier League record against Saturday's visitors Hull.
- With title rivals Arsenal and Chelsea in FA Cup fourth-round action, that
shock early exit to Leeds could prove to be a silver lining as United look
to reignite their season.
- The champions' stuttering form has seen them win only four of their last
nine games in all competitions, with Tuesday's Carling Cup semi-final
defeat to rivals Manchester City the latest example of their fragility.
- Sir Alex Ferguson's side will welcome back Rio Ferdinand, who has not played
since the defeat at Liverpool in October due to a long-standing back injury
- a timely boost following the news that John O'Shea is likely to miss the
rest of the season after suffering a blood clot in his leg.
- Hull head to Old Trafford knowing any points return will see them break free
of the bottom three. The Tigers have won only four league games all season
and are yet to win away from home, but Phil Brown will be hoping last
weekend's battling display at Tottenham and a week of warm-weather training
in Tenerife can inspire his team to an unlikely victory.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
‧ Manchester United have never lost a league game at home to Hull (W8, D1).
‧ Hull's only win at Old Trafford came in an FA Cup third-round tie in 1952
when they won 2-0.
‧ United have won their last six league and cup matches against Hull since a
2-0 away defeat in the old Division Two in November 1974.
Man Utd
‧ United have won their last eight home league matches in January without
conceding a goal.
‧ The club's last six league goals have all come in the second half. In
total, 34 of their 49 Premier League goals this season have been scored
in the second half - the most in the division.
‧ Wayne Rooney needs one goal to equal his career-best league tally of 16,
set in 2005-06.
‧ Dimitar Berbatov is set to make his 50th league appearance for Manchester
United. He has scored 16 goals in 49 matches.
Hull
‧ Hull are winless in their last seven league matches (D4, L3), and have
failed to score in four of their last six.
‧ They have not won in their last 16 league away matches since a 1-0 victory
at Fulham on 4 March. If they fail to win on Saturday it will be the longest
run by a Premier League team without an away victory since Derby County
failed to win any of their 19 away games in 2007-08.
‧ This is manager Phil Brown's 150th game in charge of the Tigers.

M.E.N Prediction: United 2-0 Hull
- The Reds beat Hull comfortably away at the end of December so should
be confident
Key opponent:
Myhill - goalkeeper had a stunning game last time out to deny Tottenham
and is likely to be busy again
Skysports.com prediction: United 3-0 Hull
One to Watch: Mame Diouf
Lawro's predictions United 2-0 Hull
Hull have improved on the road and picked up a fantastic point at Tottenham
last weekend, largely due to the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Boaz
Myhill.
But for all Manchester United's faults and current defensive frailties, I
don't think they will be given a stern examination here.
