United are likely to rest the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, while Rio Ferdinand will not figure as he looks to shake off any lingering doubts about his participation in Rome.
Sir Alex Ferguson: "This is the best squad I have ever had.
"I could have picked two teams and I will be picking a team next Sunday which will reflect that.
"I have a fantastic squad of about 28 or 29 players to choose from with the introduction of (Federico) Macheda, (Danny) Welbeck, (Rodrigo) Possebon and the Da Silva twins.
"I know they're young but they're very good players. I'm as confident for the final as I possibly can because we've won the league so we'll be going to Rome with a fresh team."
