Rio is about 70-30 in favour of not making it, he has a chance but since the injury already came back once after rushing him back too quickly vs Boro i dont see them taking a chance again unless they are sure he is 100%. Vidic has no chance, which is a real shame for Utd because not only is he a quality centre back he also is by far our biggest threat on corners and freekicks, and the way Milan have been defending them at times this year he couldve caused havoc

Utds other problem is the squad is stretched so thin by injuries elsewhere too, the defence cant rotate at all, and in midfield the nature of the games coming up (plenty of tough away fixtures in a row) means Fergie cant afford to rest Giggs or Scholes, especially with Park out. Up front Saha is missing too and though Smith and Ole try they dont have Rooneys quality. By the time of the 2nd leg Utds XI will have hardly had a rest in a month because of the chase for the treble, Milan can keep fairly fresh though as the CL is the only trophy to aim for.
