I also agree with your line-up. It is probably one of, if not the best, line-up Man Utd have. In case of injuries, we also have a pretty decent bench with Butt, O'Shea, P. Neville and if his game is on Veron. I also forgot about Forlan, who also can put 1 or 2 in the net.

I think that we won't miss him as much tonight as we would if we were at home in the first leg. We are going here to score a goal or two and not give up 3 or 4. Keane/Butt/Scholes up the middle is better for this job I think.
When we play them at home, I think we'll be a little bit more attacking inclined and Veron's form in Europe will be much more useful in that scenario....

Yes, Forlan should play more, but with Solskjaer's current form, it’s hard to fit him in at the moment.
P. Neville had a great run when both Keane and Butt was injured but now their back. Scholes will miss next champions league match so maybe P. Neville will get a game
O'Shea could replace G. Neville next CL leg.

A change to your defensive lineup: Silvestre at centre back (with either Rio or Wes) and O'Shea on the left.
I also don't like RvN and Solksjaer together. Two goal poachers don't gel. But Utd do not currently have the creative partner RvN needs alongside him. I would like to see either a mobile player in the Peter Beardsley mold (Rooney perhaps :D ) or a creative player like Cantona.
I can dream :rolleyes:
