Both will walk back into the starting lineup in my opinion.

Sir Alex has a long track record of favouring his veteran players. In this case you are talking about the captain of United and Scholes; lynchpin in United's midfield for ages.

Anderson has been nothing short of amazing during Scholes injury layout, but I can't see him keeping Scholes out once fit. They'll platoon in the 2nd half.

If Brown doesn't sign his contract in the next month, not only will he be unceremoniously leaving United, he will be benched once Neville finally gets fit. Will be disappointing to see, but I don't expect nothing less.

EDIT: I do believe that Brown has proven that he can hold his own as a starter for Manchester United. However, there are better options out there. Does anyone else think that the reason he is stalling to sign his contract may not actually do with money, but whether United will continue to give him first team opportunities once Neville gets fit?
