The Scottish tactician claims that his side can secure a positive result against the Portuguese giants considering the options he has in the middle of the park.
United have recently showcased the best of their attacking side in recent weeks, with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 in top for the Manchester giants.
Rooney, who missed most of September due to injury, returned to the line-up against Newcastle United and proceeded to thrash the Magpies in their very own backyard. The striker netted thrice for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 after that and was on song at Old Trafford for Stoke
City’s visit as well.
Despite having not scored since his return, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 star found the back of the net twice against the Potters, with an own goal being the only blip on his superb showing during October.
As the Red Devils take on Braga today, Rooney and his blossoming partnership with Van Persie will be the main cause of concern for the visitors, but according to Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752, his dynamic midfield is no less of a threat.
The veteran manager has added http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 demonstrated this season, underestimating the 19-time English champions could cost you victory.
Fergie, speaking to reporters, claimed that the club have experimented with unorthodox formations this term, but considering the return of the wingers, he could opt for his usual line-up with an emphasis on play from the flanks.
“We’ve had some success with a [midfield] diamond recently, while at this club we’ve always had a tradition of playing with wide players. We’ve got Ashley Young back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299, [Antonio] Valencia and [Ryan] Giggs, who are all wide players, while we’ve got plenty
of options in central midfield too, he added.
“We actually rested players on Saturday like Kagawa and Cleverley, both who’ve been playing very well – so I wouldn’t say we’re underestimating Braga at all. I think the level of the game in England and Europe is so high now, that making yourself unpredictable
can be a strength,” the ex-Aberdeen boss said.
