Rio Ferdinand has been included in the Manchester United squad that travelled
to Portugal for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg.
He missed last week's 2-2 draw with Porto because of a groin injury.
But the 30-year-old England international will partner Nemanja Vidic in the
centre of United's defence if he is passed fit for the second leg.
Anderson and full-back Rafael da Silva, who have both been carrying injuries,
are also in the squad.
United are aiming to become the first English team to beat Porto on their own
ground.
The Portuguese side, who are unbeaten in 20 matches and are closing in on a
fourth domestic league title in a row, are missing just one player, defender
Jorge Fucile.

BIG MATCH STATS
- If past history is anything to go by, holders Manchester United statistically
have only a 16% chance of progressing to the semis, following their 2-2 draw
against FC Porto at Old Trafford.
- This is the fourth time FC Porto and Manchester United have been drawn
against each other in European competition. Porto have prevailed on two
occasions, knocking United out of the 1977-78 Cup Winners' Cup and the
2003-04 Champions League. United eliminated the Portuguese club at the
quarter-final stage of the 1996-97 Champions League.
- Porto have never lost at home to Manchester United , winning 4-0 in 1977,
drawing 0-0 20 years later and winning 2-1 in 2004.
- Current squad members Wes Brown, Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes
(who scored in the home leg), John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher and Cristiano
Ronaldo all played for United during the second round matches with Porto
in 2004. Porto's only survivor from those matches is Pedro Emanuel who came
on in the 36th minute of the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
- Porto are unbeaten in 12 European home matches against English clubs,
winning five and drawing seven.
- Manchester United have visited Portugal nine times, winning four, drawing
one and losing four. Their most recent visit resulted in a 1-0 win at
Sporting during the 2007-08 CL group phase.
CLUB FORM
PORTO
- Can become the first team from outside Spain, England and Italy to reach
the Champions League semi-finals, since PSV in 2005, if Bayern Munich don't
beat them to it by knocking out Barcelona 24 hours earlier.
- Unbeaten away from home in the Champions League since their last visit to
England; a 4-0 defeat by Arsenal in September last year.
- Undefeated in six CL matches since losing 1-0 at home to Dynamo Kiev last
October, but have not won in their last three.
MANCHESTER UNITED
- Playing in their 10th Champions League quarter-final, a record for the
competition.
- Played more matches in all competitions this season, than any of the other
seven quarter-finalists. Their 54 games is 11 more than that of Porto.
- Playing their 150th match in the competition.
- Unbeaten in 22 Champions League matches. This is a record for all European
competitions (excluding the Super League), eclipsing Juventus' record (20)
which was set in 1972.
- Unbeaten away from home in the competition for nearly two years since a 3-0
defeat by AC Milan. The 10-match unbeaten streak is the second longest in
Champions League history, bettered only by Ajax's 14 match unbeaten streak
away from home between 1994 and 1997.
- Recorded goalless draws in both of their last two CL away matches and have
not won in their last three away games in the competition.
KEY PLAYER NOTES
- Seven Porto players have played in every match of their club's CL campaign
this season with two - Bruno Alves and Rolando - playing every minute.
- Cristian Rodriguez, Ionut Sapunaru and Hulk will be suspended for the first
leg of the semi-final, if Porto qualify.
- Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Anderson played three matches for
Porto in the 2006-07 Champions League.
- Wayne Rooney is the only United player to have played in all nine of the
club's matches in this season's Champions League.
- Rooney will be suspended for the first leg of the semi-final, if United get
through.
OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FACTS
- This match will be Sir Alex Ferguson's 150th in the Champions League. No
other head coach comes anywhere near this total with Arsene Wenger the only
other person to take charge of more than 100 matches in the competition.
Arsenal's second leg against Villarreal will be Wenger's 116th.
- Manchester United can reach the semi-final stage of the Champions League
for the sixth time, to equal AC Milan's record. Progress to the last four
for Barcelona, will also see to the Spanish side equal this record.
