Aston Villa central defender James Collins returns to the squad after injury for the trip to Old Trafford.
The former West Ham United player has been sidelined for the past month with thigh and groin problems but has now returned to training.
Villa manager Martin O'Neill must decide whether to recall his £5m signing or keep faith with Carlos Cuellar who has impressed in recent weeks alongside Richard Dunne.
O'Neill has no fresh injury worries as Villa look to win at Old Trafford for the first time in 26 years.
