Manchester United will be without striker Wayne Rooney for four weeks after
he injured an ankle in training.
The England international left the club's Carrington base on crutches,
meaning he will not feature against Blackburn at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Rovers manager Mark Hughes will not consider midfielder Steven Reid, who is
not fully fit following 14 months of knee and back problems.
Hughes has no new injury worries and is set to choose from an unchanged
squad.
Man Utd (from):
Van der Sar, Kuszczak
Brown, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evans, Evra, Simpson
Ronaldo, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Eagles, Carrick, Giggs, Nani
Saha, Tevez
Blackburn (from):
Friedel, Brown, Emerton, Nelsen, Samba, Ooijer, Warnock, Berner, Bentley,
Dunn, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, McCarthy, Derbyshire, Tugay, Mokoena, Rigters,
Khizanishvili, Treacy.
REFEREE Chris Foy (St Helens, Merseyside)
BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Manchester United play the first Premier League match of Sir Alex
Ferguson's 22nd year in charge.
＊ United, buoyed by qualification to the knock-out stages of the Champions
League, are seeking a sixth successive Premier League home victory, which
would take them three points clear of Arsenal at the top, as the Gunners
don't play away to Reading until Monday evening.
＊ Blackburn, like United, have lost just one league match this season, and
are searching for a 50th victory in this league under Mark Hughes.
＊ Hughes, scored 162 goals in 472 games for the Red Devils, and won two
league titles, three FA Cups, the Cup Winners' Cup and the League Cup
with them.
＊ Blackburn were doubled by Manchester United last season. The reverse was
the case in the previous season, when Rovers picked up their only Premier
League victory at Old Trafford to date; prevailing 1-2 on 24 September
2005 with a double from Morten Gamst Pedersen.
