Man Utd Preview

Juan Sebastian Veron is ready to return for Manchester United against Charlton at The Valley on Sunday. The Argentinian was given a short break to recover from a knee injury and spent last weekend in Rome watching his old club Lazio. Sir Alex Ferguson has no new injury worries and has added fit-again Wes Brown to the squad. New signing Diego Forlan is hoping he might get the chance of making his first start after being used as a substitute in the last two games.

Claus Jensen is missing once again for Charlton. He has a knee injury but Mark Fish, who was forced off at Middlesbrough, should return. Mark Kinsella, returning from a knee injury, could win a place on the bench. Svensson could start up front in place of Johansson.

Charlton (from): Kiely, Kishishev, Young, Fish, Costa, Fortune, Powell, Brown, Stuart, Parker, Kinsella, Robinson, Bart-Williams, Konchesky, Euell, Johansson, Svensson, Lisbie, Ilic.

Manchester United (from): Barthez, P Neville, Blanc, G Neville, Silvestre, Beckham, Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Solskjaer, van Nistelrooy, Butt, Veron, Irwin, Forlan, O'Shea, Carroll.
