Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic
and Patrice Evra are, however, all expected to return for United after
missing Rio Ferdinand's testimonial on Friday.
Wigan are without captain Gary Caldwell but James McClean could make his debut.
Another new signing, Thomas Rogne, is out with a back problem for Wigan, though Leon Barnett and Emmerson Boyce are expected to retain their places in Owen Coyle's side.
Grant Holt will lead the line for his new club after dropping down a division from Norwich, with Marc Antoine-Fortune also in contention
