Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic will play no part in Manchester United's Champions League clash with Rangers.
Sir Alex Ferguson has opted to rest the duo and is likely to start with Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans at the heart of his defence at Ibrox.
Meanwhile, a report in the Manchester Evening News suggests Juventus are lining up bids for Dimitar Berbatov and Federico Macheda.
The Serie A side are looking to strengthen their strikeforce after confirming that Brazilian forward Amauri could be sidelined for at least two months with a knee injury.
Ferguson dropped former Bulgaria international Berbatov from his 18-man squad for Saturday's 2-0 victory against Wigan Athletic. The 29-year-old has failed to score in his last nine appearances since grabbing a hat-trick in the victory against Liverpool in September.
Nineteen-year-old Macheda is believed to be interested in returning to Italy despite making a big impact at Old Trafford.
Panathinaikos are also said to be keen to sign Anderson on a loan agreement. The 22-year-old has not been part of United's squad recently.Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
