Michael Carrick is an injury doubt ahead of Manchester United's UEFA Champions League clash with Roma.

The England international sat out training on Monday evening after picking up a knock in Saturday's 4-0 demolition of Aston Villa.

Carrick was left out of training as a precaution and United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will give him until the last minute to prove his fitness.

Better news on the injury front for United was that key trio Edwin van der Sar, Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra all came through the work out unscathed.

Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar missed the win over Aston Villa because of a groin injury, while Giggs and Evra both picked up knocks at the weekend.

All three showed no ill-effects in training and should be available for Tuesday's quarter-final first-leg with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Meanwhile, Gary Neville completed 90 minutes for United's reserves in their 1-1 draw against Newcastle on Monday as he continues his rehabilitation injury.
