Suprising Suprising Sir Alex ..
Think the club has certain quotas to meet, and these could include plane seats, room reservations, team size, all these need to be filled up and no point bringing injured senior players, and I don't think SAF would be that adventurous, he's also giving the younger ones some kind of exposure, even if they don't play. Just been on the bench with a very high likelihood of playing is already quite exciting...you never know when you will be called up,depending on the circumstances.Welbeck, Obertan, Gibson will feature, and maybe Gill.
On any given day, players like Scholes, Anderson, Carrick, Fletcher, Evra, Valencia will give the opposition a run for the money.That's 6 of them. Kuszazck been the other one, so that leaves 2 more slots...there's Owen, Welbeck as strikers and Nani,Obertan,Gibson and Park in MF.
The other younger players like Stewart, Norwood, Eikrem and James may have substitutional roles only.
I hear alot of punters got sold on the injury story and many are betting on Wolfsburg winning.I think they are in for a surprise.The bookies' aim is to make money not give away money.
It might be a draw...for all you know.But I have a feeling United may just nick it.Don't be surprised if Park plays defence and Fletcher partners Ando as roaming and marauding MFs....yeah the meanest MFs.
