Tomasz Kuszczak will make his Champions League debut for Manchester United
after fellow goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was ruled out with a toe injury.
Defenders Wes Brown and Nemanja Vidic are also doubts for the home side
after picking up knocks against Birmingham.
But former Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves is in line to make his
European debut for the Red Devils.
Van der Sar has not conceded a goal in seven hours and 44 minutes since he
was beaten by Geovanni's deflected effort off Vidic in the derby against
Manchester City.
But Pole Kuszczak, 25, made a fine save from Gary McSheffrey's deflected
shot after coming on at half-time in the 1-0 victory over Birmingham.
Tom Heaton, 21, will cover Kuszczak on the bench but has yet to play for
United.
Roma are missing winger Rodrigo Taddei and defenders Christian Panucci and
Marco Cassetti because of injury.
However, midfielder Simone Perrotta could play despite injuring his thigh
in the 4-1 league loss to Inter Milan.
Cicinho looks set to return to the starting line-up in place of Panucci, who
has a back injury.
Provisional squad:
Kuczszak, Heaton
Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Simpson, Pique,
Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves, O'Shea, Anderson, Nani
Giggs, Rooney, Saha, Tevez
Referee Manuel Mejuto Gonzalez (ESP)
