Duo bolster Reserves


Duo bolster Reserves



Ben Foster and Mikael Silvestre will line up for the Reserves against Newcastle on Thursday evening as they bid to hone their match sharpness.

England goalkeeper Foster recently started the second string's victory over Middlesbrough, while Silvestre starred in last week's thumping win over Manchester City.

Danny Welbeck was the hero against the Blues last week, scoring a hat-trick, and he looks likely to start against the Magpies with either Chris Eagles or Italian starlet Federico Macheda alongside him.

Highly-rated Irish youngster Robert Brady is also named in Brian McClair and Jim Ryan's squad, and could make his first Reserves appearance as United play their penultimate league game of the season.

The match takes place at the Marston's Arena, Northwich (KO 19:00 GMT) and will be shown live on MUTV.

United squad: Foster, Zieler; C Evans, SIlvestre, Eckersley, Chester, Norwood; Jones, Possebon, Cleverley, Galbraith, Eikrem, Brady; Eagles, Welbeck, Macheda.
