Team news: Defenders Wes Brown and Nemanja Vidic are doubts for Manchester United's Champions League clash with Roma at Old Trafford tomorrow.

The pair picked up knocks at Birmingham on Saturday and manager Alex Ferguson confirmed the two players were concerns.

Owen Hargreaves trained this morning, however, and is in line to make his European debut for United. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar (toe) is definitely ruled out, so Tomasz Kuczszak will deputise.

Elsewhere, Alexander Hleb will travel with the Arsenal squad to Romania for their clash against Steaua Bucharest after recovering quicker than expected from a knee injury.
