Evra returns to face Galatasaray

The France full-back missed Saturday's win over Wigan Athlteic with a minor knock suffered on international duty and was forced to watch as the new arrival Alex Buttner made an eye-catching debut.While Evra will still be regarded as the first-choice left-back, Buttner's goal, assist and overall solid performance suggests the 31-year-old has greater competition for his place than in previous years.

With the exception of Wayne Rooney, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, United look at full strength for the visit of the Turkish side.Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa were both training, along with the midfielder Darren Fletcher, who is closing in on a long-awaited comeback from a chronic bowel condition. After last year's disappointment when United were knocked out in the group stage, Sir Alex Ferguson has already asserted there will be no repeat this year.
