Robin van Persie looks set to start Manchester United's Champions League meeting with Shakhtar Donetsk.

The striker has been troubled by a groin injury, and has not begun a match since United's Group A opener, a 4-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen.
Van Persie appeared off the bench for the final third of United's 2-1 defeat at home to West Brom on Saturday.
United manager David Moyes said Rio Ferdinand would not have travelled even without his current groin strain.
"Rio has a slight groin problem," said Moyes. "It is nothing serious but I was never bringing him anyway."
Marouane Fellaini, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra did not start against West Brom but are likely to feature, while Anderson, Fabio and Wilfried Zaha have not flown to Ukraine due to injuries.
The meeting in the Donbass Arena will be the first time United have faced Shakhtar, but the Premier League champions have never lost to Ukrainian opposition. United have won three times and drawn once in their four Champions League encounters with Dynamo Kiev.
Shakhtar, the reigning Ukrainian champions, have never lost to English opposition on home soil in the Champions League.
While United opened their Champions League campaign with their 4-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen, Shakhtar overcame Real Sociedad 2-0 away from home with Brazilian midfielder Alex Teixeira grabbing both goals.
Mircea Lucescu, who has been in charge of Shakhtar since May 2004 and is the Ukrainian club's longest-serving coach, has faced United before in the Champions League.
Now 68, Lucescu was Inter Milan's coach when the Italian side faced United at the quarter-final stage in 1999, but the Romanian resigned a few days after his side's 3-1 aggregate defeat.

Keep Calm And Support Moyes..

The funniest part of it, is that must of you making mockery of United are Arsenal fans, forgetting we are just 6 matches into the season, forgetting they've not won anything in 9years, forggetting the 8-2? Moyes is new to the big league, and needs time to get use to it, his players and the job in a whole, all you Plastic fans calling for Moyes's head, am *smh for you*, if Arsenal can give their coach 9years n counting..., why can't we?, stepping up from managing Everton to Managing Man United is never an easy task, Moyes is under pressure, and all he needs is our full support. GGMU!
