Striker Selection Problems For United

Manchester United face a striking problem going into their clash with Bolton at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The champions' top scorer Wayne Rooney will miss out due to the calf strain he picked up on England duty while Sir Alex Ferguson also has problems with Dimitar Berbatov.

The 28-year-old is still in Bulgaria following the birth of his daughter and may not arrive back in Manchester in time for the game.

Good news though is that Ferguson has fit-again Michael Owen available for selection after he recovered from a groin problem he picked up just over two weeks ago.
