Middlesbrough Prediction

Manchester United entertain Middlesbrough on Saturday in what is sure to be an exciting game.



Following his European debut, Wayne Rooney is expected to make his Premiership debut against a depleted Middlesbrough side.

Paul Scholes will be missing from the home side along with Wes Brown and Louis Saha but Sir Alex Ferguson's biggest dilemma will rest with Wayne Rooney.

Following his dramatic European exploits should he be in the starting XI or begin life on the bench?

Sir Alex Ferguson has the option of bringing Roy Keane and Christiano Ronaldo back in to the side that comprehensively beat Fenerbahce 6:2 in midweek.

With Rio Ferdinand back from suspension and Ruud van Nistelrooy back from injury, United are beginning to fire on all cylinders.

My prediction: Manchester United 3:1 Middlesbrough
