Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted to be able to welcome Phil Jones back for the Champions League trip to Galatasaray.

The 20-year-old England international is poised to make his first appearance of the season after recovering from knee surgery, with the Red Devils having already secured a place in the knockout stages in Europe.

That will give Ferguson a chance to field a youthful side in Turkey, with Jones earmarked for a starting role.

Ferguson said: "It's a big day for Phil Jones. He's been out all season, but has done enough training to make sure his fitness is okay.

"They've all been different types of injuries and because he is young he's still to develop physically. He's only 20 years of age so there's plenty of time for him."

United are3.60to make it five wins out of five with a victory on Tuesday evening, while they are21.00to win 2-0 in Turkey and5.00to keep a clean sheet.

One man who will definitely be missing is Shinji Kagawa, who has been ruled out for a further three or four weeks as he struggles to overcome knee problems.

The summer recruit from Borussia Dortmund has not featured for nearly a month and Ferguson admitted: "He's not started any outside work and we're looking at another four weeks away, which is disappointing.

"Originally we thought three or four weeks - now it looks like seven or eight weeks."
