United could be unchanged for the third game in a row if the visit to Dunfermline on Saturday goes ahead. For the first time since he took over in August, boss Alex Smith is enjoying a spell when injuries and suspensions have not been affecting his team plans and he admits it is a luxury he is enjoying.
"Continuity of selection is always a good thing for a Manager and the fact that we've had a settled team recently has been reflected in the good results we've had," said Alex on Thursday. He does have options and if he decides to make a change, a place could be found for Hasney Aljofree on the left. The postponement of Tuesday night's visit to Aberdeen means defender David Partridge will still be out through suspension.
