• Forward back in squad after knee complaint
• Juan Mata ineligable for Champions League clash

David Moyes is considering recalling Danny Welbeck for Manchester United’s Champions League meeting with Olympiacos on Tuesday evening at the Karaiskakis Stadium.

The forward has not featured since 1 February due to a knee muscle injury but is now fully fit.

Juan Mata’s ineligibility for the Champions League, due to the Spaniard having played for Chelsea in the competition earlier this season, means Moyes has to decide who will replace him against the Greek champions.

Webeck has scored 10 times in 25 United appearances, though the striker has not always been selected in is preferred position.

With United having no game this weekend due to the derby being postponed, as Manchester City play Sunderland in Sunday’s Capital One Cup final, Moyes is free to select his strongest team available for the last-16 opening leg against the Greek champions. United next play on Saturday-week at West Bromwich Albion.
