United have flown out to France for their must-win Champions League clash with Lille.
With Saturday's crushing defeat at Middlesbrough still fresh in the mind, Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be aiming to prove a point in Paris.
The Reds currently top Group D with five points from three games, but could slip to third if they lose on Wednesday night.
Claude Puel's Lille currently prop up the rest of the group with two points, but showed great resolve in their last outing - a goalless draw at Old Trafford.
The main talking point of the drab affair was Paul Scholes' sending-off which rules him out of the Paris clash.
Scholes joins a long list of absentees which contains injury victims Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Gabriel Heinze, Gary Neville, Quinton Fortune, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The lengthy list means a call-up from the Reserves for Richie Jones, Jonny Evans and Luke Steele, who all make their first appearance in a Champions League squad.
United Squad
Goalkeepers: Howard; Steele; Van der Sar. Defenders: Brown; Richardson; Ferdinand; Bardsley; Silvestre; O'Shea; J Evans; G Pique. Midfielders: Smith; Fletcher; L Miller; R Jones; Park. Forwards: Rooney; van Nistelrooy; Ronaldo; Rossi.
