Man Utd v Middlesbrough

United will be taking on Middlesbrough only on Monday on a late fixture by that time probably leaders will be ahead of them by more points as they will be playing on Sunday . United are not upto their best as once again they produced another last minute 1 - 0 win on Friday . The problem is with United midfield as their is not a well defined formation .None of the midfielders except Ronaldo has fixed place in the starting line up . It is the time for Sir Alex to fix onto one formation . The United midfield and attack is failing to break well organised defence as once again seen on Friday


United will be without Rio Ferdinand for up to 10 days, after he suffered a back injury in the warm-up for Friday's win over Stoke. Patrice Evra is suspended . Last match Evra's absence was obvious . Should be seen who is going to start on Monday as O'shea started and later Giggs occupied the position . Dimitar Berbatov will be hoping to start after impressing when he came on last time out.


Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Amos, Neville, Vidic, O'Shea, Evans, Rafael, Ronaldo, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Berbatov, Rooney, Tevez, Welbeck.
