Manchester United travel to Reading on Saturday in the Premier League.

Struggling Reading play host to Manchester United on Saturday, looking to add to their one league win so far this term.

Reading went down late on to Aston Villa on Tuesday night and currently sit 19th in the Premier League table.

United edged past West Ham United 1-0 on Wednesday night, their second league win running following a surprise defeat at Norwich.

Jason Roberts and Adam Le Fondre worked hard against Villa without reward, but Brian McDermott could stick with his current first-choice strike partnership.

Sir Alex Ferguson has no fresh injury concerns and his main headache will be who to partner with Robin van Persie up front. Antonio Valencia could be fit to return.
