United duo make Rome trip

Louis Saha and Darren Fletcher are in the Manchester United squad to face Roma.

Manchester United have unexpectedly included Louis Saha and Darren Fletcher in their squad for their UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg clash against Roma.

United set off for Rome on Tuesday ahead of their big clash at the Stadio Olimpico.

Saha and Fletcher have both been missing for nearly six weeks and were expected to feature for United's reserves at Blackburn on Thursday - instead of being involved against Roma.

However, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has opted to include the two - to bolster his options.

One blow for United was that South Korean Park Ji-sung did not make the trip and he joins Gary Neville, Mikael Silvestre and Nemanja Vidic on the sidelines.
