Sir Alex Ferguson plays down http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736’s injury says he is ready to rotate against F.C Basel – UEFA Champions League
Sir Alex Ferguson has come out after Manchester United’s one all draw against Stoke City and stated that he is ready to use the full strength of his squad players against F.C Basel on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champion’s League
group stages as the Red Devils resume their European responsibilities. However it will be foolish to take F.C Basel lightly as the UEFA Champions League has shown in the past that it is perhaps a host to the most surprising upsets in European football. Manchester
United will definitely find it hard against Basel given the nature of their injury troubles.
Wayne Rooney, Thomas Cleverley, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 spoke ahead of his team’s training session at the Carrington training
facility as he said, "Maybe I'll use some of them (squad players) against Basel. I do need to get all the squad moving. I think there will be changes on Tuesday. I think we got a positive result against Benfica. Hopefully, we can strengthen our position. Basel
are a decent side though.”
He added, “F.C Basel’s manager Thorsten Fink was a substitute in the final for Bayern Munich in 1999 when he came on for Lothar Matthaus. I spoke to him at the UEFA conference and he's done a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. "It's difficult to say [how
long Rooney will be out for]. It's not a serious hamstring injury but I don't think he'll be available for next week. I think he'll be out for more than a week."
United’s last two UEFA Champions League campaigns have seen them quality out of the group stages comfortably. Last year they made it to the final of the tournament at the Wembley stadium where they lost by three goals to one against
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. In the 2009-2010 season, United failed to progress past the quarterfinal stages as Bayern Munich earned an aggregate win over them in the knockout stages.
Sir Alex spoke extensively about United’s prospects in the group stages as well as the UEFA Champions League in general as he stated, "If you get to 10 points, you know you're into the next stage but we'd like to win the group
anyway. If we win our next three games, we can utilise the squad. It would definitely help and we've done that over the years. It's sometimes backfired - I played a fresh team over in Fenerbahce and they beat us 3-0. Although I want to make changes, I don't
want an embarrassment. So changes have got to be made with a mind of still winning the game."
