MANCHESTER United have given a broad hint as to their likely line-up for the Old Trafford clash with Wanderers tomorrow.
Several of the so-called "second" team, used for many Premiership games, had a run out in a Reserve game at Bradford last night.
Quinton Fortune, frequently linked with Wanderers during the close season, was on target twice as some famous faces staked a claim for a first team place in the 7-2 victory.
Dwight Yorke, Phil Neville and David May all played in the comprehensive victory at Valley Parade, with May netting the third with a first-half penalty.
Michael Stewart, John O'Shea, Danny Webber and 16-year-old Danish debutant Mats Timm also scored for United.
United finished with 10 men after Jesper Blomqvist, bidding to resurrect his injury-plagued career on a non-contract basis, left the field through injury 15 minutes from time.
United: Van der Gouw, Michael Clegg, O'Shea, May, Phil Neville, Wallwork, Lynch, Stewart, Timm, Fortune, Djordjic, Yorke, Ben Williams, Blomquist, Webber, Davis.
Sir Alex Ferguson is contemplating making "three or four changes" for the game according to reports today.
He is forced to make two changes to the starting line-up against Deportivo with Roy Keane unavailable as he sits out the final game of a three-match suspension and Ronny Johnsen sidelined with a hamstring strain.
Nicky Butt is likely to replace the United skipper in midfield with Wes Brown coming in to partner Laurent Blanc in defence.
Last week the United boss rested David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Juan Sebastian Veron and this time it could be the turn of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs to take a break.
United face Olympiakos in the Champions League at Old Trafford next Tuesday.
