Ferguson plots to neuter Milan’s enduring class
Sir Alex Ferguson has promised his injury-ravaged Manchester United side will approach tomorrow’s Champions League semi-final against AC Milan with no fear.
Ferguson is facing the unhappy prospect of tackling the six-time winners without his entire first-choice defence at Old Trafford.
In addition, Park Ji-Sung and Louis Saha are also ruled out, leaving the United boss with only a 13-man senior squad, a group that includes two goalkeepers in Edwin van der Sar and Tomasz Kuszczak.
Yet Ferguson refuses to dwell on such a disastrous position and, with attacking talent such as Cristiano Ronaldo, the PFA Player of the Year, and Wayne Rooney, the United boss remains confident that his side can get a positive result.
“I don’t have any fears about it,†Ferguson said. “The mood in the camp pleases me. At this time of year, you are always looking for signs of nerves and, while we have concerns about the injuries, I don’t see any nerves.
“It is not going to be easy, but the name of the game in these situations is to win and not lose a goal. That is our plan and, if we can achieve it, it would be a massive result for us.â€
With Patrice Evra fit enough only for a place on the bench, Ferguson has little option other than to name Darren Fletcher at right-back.
