Reserves: Derby side named

United's Reserves face Manchester City tonight for the first time since inflicting a six-goal hammering on their local rivals.

Fraizer Campbell (4) Giuseppe Rossi and Markus Neumayr were all on target back in April, but a very different second string will face Stuart Wigley's side at Sportcity.

Gone are the goalscorers, many of their team-mates and manager Rene Meulensteen. Only three of the starting XI who humbled the Blues start tonight under Brian McClair.

They are Phil Marsh, Ritchie Jones and Danny Rose, who captains the Reserves for the first time. David Gray, Michael Barnes and Ryan Shawcross, all substitutes in April, start.

Tom Heaton continues in goal, behind a defensive line of Kieran Lee, Rose, Shawcross and Gray, while the midfield is made up of Ritchie Jones, David Jones, Barnes and Sean Evans.

There is no place for Alan Smith, who was back on the first-team bench against Celtic. Phil Marsh and Aaron Burns occupy the striking berths.

Tonight's derby will be shown live from 6:30pm on MUTV, with kick-off at 7pm.

United: Heaton, Lee, Rose, Shawcross, Gray, R Jones, Barnes, D Jones, Burns, Marsh, Evans.
Substitutes: Lea, Zieler, Cathcart, Brandy.
