Ex Red & West Brom Captain Jonathan Greening will miss out for the visit of his old team as will many other as both side limp into the Hawthorns.

Darren Fletcher may play at right-back and Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to play despite suffering from a Stomach virus.

Editor: mufcinfo.com will be reporting live from the Hawthorns due to the kindness of obtaining only our 2nd away game of the season on our memberships!!.

 Pre Match Press Conference Highlights

On Fabio
"Fabio has a calf strain and that is disappointing because he has just got back from a long injury and he did very well," said manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

On Danny Welbeck
"Danny Welbeck got a kick on the ankle. It is nothing serious but I don't think he will make the West Brom game.

"You could do without these things but I do have Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs who are fresh.

On Ronaldo
"Cristiano Ronaldo picked up a bug and I think it showed because he wasn't anywhere near ready. But he showed the appetite to play and it is always good to have him on the pitch because opponents are always aware of him.

"He will be better against West Brom. It is just the full back positions that are causing us a bit of concern."
