Busy night awaits Man Utd's international stars
While Wayne Rooney is among five England players who have been excused duty versus Ghana due to next week's Champions League commitments, United are still well represented in the various international friendlies taking place tomorrow night.
Patrice Evra is set to make his first appearance in France since before the World Cup, as Les Bleus take on Croatia at the Stade de France.
France have made an excellent recovery from their poor World Cup performance, coming into the game on the back of a six-match winning streak, which stretches back to their first Euro 2012 qualifier against Belarus in Paris.
They can be backed at [1.9] to beat Slaven Bilic's men, but you might find better value in the goals market. Since Blanc took over, France's home internationals have been low-scoring; just six goals have been scored in four games. Back under 1.5 goals at [2.9].
Darron Gibson may come face-to-face with former Reds favourite Diego Forlan as the Republic of Ireland take on Uruguay at the Aviva Stadium. Giovanni Trapattoni's men can be backed at [3.1] to follow up Saturday's win against Macedonia with another victory.
Elsewhere, Javier Hernandez - who picked up a brace on Saturday against Paraguay - will be hoping to continue his hot run of form as Mexico face Venezuela, while Antonio Valencia will continue his recovery from injury as Ecuador take on Peru. The flying winger played for 75 minutes on Saturday in Ecuador's game against Colombia.
