ALL eyes might be on Ruud Van Nistelrooy and his attempt to set a new Premiership record at Old Trafford tomorrow.
But at the opposite end of the pitch, another battle altogether could hold the key to Rovers' chances of coming away with a result.
Club-record signing Andy Cole is desperate to mark his return to Old Trafford with a goal.
And the United defence know they could be in for a rocky ride against the 30-year-old striker as he looks to stake a claim for a place in England's World Cup squad.
Veteran defender Laurent Blanc will have his hands full trying to contend with Cole and strike-partner Matt Jansen as Rovers look to hit the Champions on the break.
The former French international has been blamed for most of United's defensive failings this season.
And if he is susceptible to one thing, then it is pace which Cole has in abundance.
