With John O'Shea and Gary Neville sustaining injuries in Wednesday's senior win over Portsmouth, Wes Brown's return to action with United's Reserves couldn't be timelier.

The England international, who completed an hour against Preston on Monday, will start Thursday's match against Newcastle with one eye on this weekend's first team clash with Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Brown is joined by Tomasz Kuszczak, Darron Gibson and Fabio, who were all members of the Reds' FA Cup semi-final squad, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Warren Joyce look to secure second spot in the Barclays Premier Reserve League table.

Kuszczak keeps goal behind a defence of Brown, Richard Eckersley, Ritchie De Laet and Fabio, while Lee Martin will again act as a makeshift striker ahead of Danny Drinkwater, Gibson, Matty James, Corry Evans and Zoran Tosic.

Back from his loan with Hereford United, Febian Brandy is on a substitutes bench which also hosts Ben Amos, Oliver Gill, Magnus Eikrem and Cameron Stewart.

Thursday's match will be shown live on MUTV, with coverage beginning at 18:30 BST.

Surprised one of either Welbeck or Macheda is not involved to be honest.
 
Good to see Fabio is back already, was starting to get concerned about his injury problems this season.
 
de Laet got injured in the warm-up, Gill's in for him with Joe Dudgeon added to the bench.
 
Corry Evans! Lee Martin put him through on goal and he finished cooly between the keeper's legs.
 
Good game so far, we started very well but they definitely grew in confidence after that wonderstrike. Ref's had a shocker.
 
Crerand to blame for that, kept saying "HE WON'T MISS THIS ONE", and he duly did.
