PROBABLE LINEUPS

ALDERSHOT TOWN

Straker, Herd, Brown, Morris
Guttridge, Collins, Vincenti, McGlashan
Hylton, Rankine



MANCHESTER UNITED

Rafael, Jones, Smalling, Fabio
Morrison, Pogba, Gibson, Valencia

The Shots will welcome top-scorer Danny Hylton back into the side after he made a late appearance in their 5-2 win over Dagenham on Saturday. Ross Worner is expected to keep his place in goal after ousting regular No.1 Jamie Young from the side.

Jonny Evans will be suspended following his red card against Manchester City but Rafael da Silva may play if he recovers from a shoulder injury in time. Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to make wholesale changes to his side, with youngsters Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba likely to be given an opportunity to shine.
