(story from www.manutd.com)
Manchester United's first-team squad has left for Rome this morning, with Nani (who is still suffering from a thigh strain) being the only major absentee.
United had concerns over the fitness of Michael Carrick, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs, who all came off in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa. But all four travel, as does Edwin van der Sar, who sat out Saturday's match, although there is no place for Louis Saha, who is still suffering with a hamstring complaint.
The French forward's absence means a chance for 17-year-old Danny Welbeck - still waiting for his first United start - as one of only three strikers in the 21-man travelling squad.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster isn't included in the squad as he was not registered for Europe, so Tom Heaton takes his place.
United squad:
Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton;
O'Shea, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evra, Silvestre;
Anderson, Ronaldo, Park, Hargreaves, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Eagles;
Tevez, Rooney, Welbeck.
