Manchester United duo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085 are set to be on the sidelines when Swansea visit Old Trafford this weekend.
Welbeck, who has been the Red Devils’ break-out player this season, was ineffective for much of the Manchester derby and failed to find the all important goal that would have all but clinched the title for reigning champions.
To make matters worse, a strong challenge from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nigel-de-Jong-c27882 has ended his campaign prematurely and has even placed his participation in the European Championships in jeopardy.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 will return to the match-day squad.
Fergie’s troops are battling to acquire silverware this term and will be hoping that they pick up three points instead of Manchester City, who are away to Newcastle United. But the veteran tactician is facing the omission of yet another youngster, who has
proved himself over the last few months.
Jonny Evans is still not fit enough to take to the pitch against the Welsh side and will be watching from the stands, just like he did against the Citizens, meaning that either http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 will deputize in his stead.
With a tough fixture against a team which utilizes free-flowing football, Ferguson must use his tactical nous to oust Brendan Rodgers’ men, but for the meantime the Scot was full of admiration for his opponents.
"The way Swansea have played this season has been admirable. I went to see them last weekend. They want to play football. The manager has stuck by his principles and they've had a fantastic season,” he said.
He also added that the derby loss was a huge stumbling block in their title challenge, but the Reds will be looking to bounce back this weekend.
"[Losing at City on] Monday night was a blow to us. We can only do what we can now and hopefully win our game on Sunday. By the time we kick off we'll know what we'll need to do. [City are at Newcastle], who are fighting for that position in the top four.
They have a chance. It's an exciting end to the season.”
United play the Swans at Old Trafford on Sunday.
