Fabio da Silva could be a shock selection for Manchester United tonight against Champions League opponents Inter Milan.

Fabio is on standby to take a place in the Manchester United defence on Tuesday if Sir Alex Ferguson ends up not being able to call on John O'Shea and Jonny Evans to face Inter Milan.

Ferguson is hopeful O'Shea will recover from a heel injury in time to face Jose Mourinho's men but Evans was unable to train at the San Siro last night after limping out of Saturday's win over Blackburn with an ankle injury.
