Squad sheets: Manchester United v Portsmouth

Having haemorrhaged money and players throughout January, and now becoming subject to the whims of their fourth owner of the season, it is difficult to imagine a worse time for Portsmouth to have to visit Old Trafford. Factor in Manchester United's resurgent form in dismembering Arsenal last time out and matters start to look bleaker still for Avram Grant's side. Although Rio Ferdinand's suspension may provide a glimmer of hope for Pompey, the possible return of Nemanja Vidic from injury will surely extinguish it.
