United look up for cup
Manchester United looked to have found their rhythm when defeating Portsmouth and can beat Zenit St Petersburg in the Uefa Super Cup, writes Tony Kelshaw.
The Red Devils will also have several key players back available for this game and Sir Alex Ferguson should field a strong side for the Monaco clash.
Zenit's form in the Russian league has been moderate and unsettled star Andrei Arshavin is tipped to sit this one out.
Fergie ready for battle
Sir Alex Ferguson fielded a weakened team when losing to Lazio in the 1999 Uefa Super Cup but has vowed to learn his lesson from that 1-0 defeat.
The Manchester United boss said: "When I saw Lazio celebrating at the end, it was like they had won the World Cup. I was not too pleased and thought 'that will not happen again'."
Take the Red Devils to win the Monaco clash 2-0 at 6/1 or 2-1 at 13/2.
