Manchester United welcome back Antonio Valencia to the lineup, the winger’s first start since injuring his ankle against Rangers way back in September.

The Ecuadorian has made two substitute appearances in the last week against Marseille and Arsenal, but has not started a match for nearly six months.

Otherwise, Jonny Evans is the only switch – coming in for John O’Shea – from United’s lineup against Marseille in midweek.

Meanwhile Bolton go with an attacking lineup at Old Trafford, Johan Elmander, Daniel Sturrudge and Kevin Davies all on the pitch.

United: Van der Sar; Brown, Smalling, Evans, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Nani; Rooney, Hernandez

Bolton: Jaaskelainen; Steinsson, Cahill, Wheater, Robinson; Elmander, Muamba, Holden, Petrov; Davies, Sturridge.
