No Silva? You're mad.

Put Silva where Nasri is and put Barry on the left of midfield and that's the team Mancini will pick

I would save Silva as a second half subsitute. The lad's bang out of form. His final pass just isn't there anymore.

Nasri is simply in much better form than him.

And yes, Barry in left midfield :).

Luis Nani has given Manchester United a headache after limping out of training early into the club's Cardiff weekend break, by taking a heavy tackle to his left ankle.

The 25-year-old was immediately forced to leave the game. He was driven away to the nearby golf pavilion changing facility by the United kitman Albert Morgan, and was later seen limping back to the nearby four-star hotel. Centre-half Jonny Evans sat out the training game but was involved in training – he is expected to be fit for Monday's derby match, despite Everton's Darron Gibson standing on his foot during Sunday's 4-4 draw.

United are expected to stay until Sunday at the Vale, where two Championship golf courses and a spa provides the escape Sir Alex Ferguson wants for his players.

Well, James Ducker of The Times, northern football correspondent of The Times, said on his twitter account that Evans was doubtful so I don't know:

#MUFC are sweating on fitness of Jonny Evans ahead of derby. He hasn't trained all week. Extent of problem unclear

We'll just have to wait and see. It never ceases to amaze me how often United players miraculously find fitness before big matches.;).
