Nani and Michael Carrick look set to return from injury for United,
winger Antonio Valencia will also be included in the squad after a long injury layoff.
Nemanja Vidic looks likely to partner Chris Smalling in defense while Rio Ferdinand remains sidelined with injury.
Argentina international defender Gabriel Heinze will feature in defense for Marseille, and will be making an emotional return to Old Trafford after spending three successful years with the Red Devils.
