United are on the back of a very successful season in which they captured the European glory after nine long years. However, one major star who wont be playing a major part in this clash is last season’s 42 goal top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo who has been the subject of a transfer controversy with Real Madrid is currently recovering from a knee surgery and his absence will enable Rooney and Tevez to compete for the lone forward spot in a diamond formation. This match is set up as a testimonial to Manchester United’s long standing star Ole Gunnar Solskjar and the Red Devils will be hoping to pay tribute to the star of their Nou Camp triumph nine years ago with a polished display against Espanyol.

Espanyol on the other hand will be ruing a bad finish to last season when they looked all set to secure an UEFA spot from the Spanish La Liga. The Barcelona based club will be short of a major star in Luis Garcia for this clash. The former Mallorca forward is on the verge of completing his move to Benfica and much of the impetus in attack will depend on the old front of Raul Tamudo and Del A pena. A victory here for Espanyol will result in a huge boost for the Spanish outfit and they will be looking to give in their best against the very best outfit in the land.
