United Reserves vs Liverpoo Reserves
Gary Neville has been named in the Reserves' squad to face Liverpool on Tuesday evening.
The Reds' club captain has been in full training and is set to step up his comeback against the Merseysiders at Warrington Wolves' Halliwell Jones Stadium. Neville featured for the Reserves against Everton in January, scoring in a 45 minute cameo before being withdrawn with a tight hamstring. After nearly 11 months on the sidelines, he will hope for Tuesday's match to provide some much-needed match sharpness as he continues his recovery. He is part of a strong squad named by Brian McClair and Jim Ryan, who will be eager for their side to regain a foothold in the Barclays Premier Reserve League title race. A solitary point from recent matches against Blackburn and Wigan have damaged the Reds' hopes of a third title in four years, but victory over Gary Ablett's side, who head the table by six points, could kickstart a late charge. Fans who wish to attend can purchase tickets at the stadium ticket office, and are encouraged to ask for South Stand terrace tickets when purchasing. Tickets are priced at £5 for Adults and £2 for concessions. United squad: Heaton, Zieler; Neville, Pique, Simpson, Eckersley, Chester; Hewson, Cleverley, Possebon, S Evans, Jones; Eagles, Welbeck, Macheda, Bryan. |

 Not sure if this is the best game to ease him back into action, mind you. I don't see him pulling out of any challenges, to protect his gammy leg. He hates scousers, you know. Allegedly. Great news, though. If he can stay fit, he will add a whole new dimension to our attacking play, at a crucial stage in the season. Good to see the Welbeck and Macheda reunited too. They've both struggled without their strike partner of choice. I'm looking forward to watching this one. |

Heaton Neville, Pique, Chester, Simpson Eagles, Hewson, Jones, Rodrigo, S Evans Welbeck Subs: Zieler, Eckersley, Cleverley, Cico, Bryan. Neville might be spared and used as center half and than Eckersley will replace Chester and be a rb. |

 Long way yet to go for him though, but he's got the potential.Nice to see Gary Neville back again too, let's hope this is the end of the little setbacks. Going to be a tough game against the Scousers but confident we can string together a good performance and result. |

Neville v Kewell
Hewson v Alonso Welbeck v Agger Some intriguing contests in there. Good to see Gary getting a nice easy return to action  |
