Right, here’s my attempt at reading Sir Alex Ferguson’s mind. This is the team that will line up against Spurs:
Tevez Wellbeck
Nani Scholes Anderson Gibson
O’Shea Vidic (or Ferdinand) Evans Raphael Neville
Foster
Subs: Kuszczak, Rooney, Fabio, Giggs, Fletcher, Possebon, Park
Good luck, Boys.
Postscript:
With Raphael da Silva ruled out for a month, Neville is likely to play at right-back. Given O’Shea’s performance on Tuesday, he might get a nod ahead of Vidic or Ferdinand, with Evra at left-back. Having said all of that, Ferguson might slot Welbeck on the right of midfield, shiift Gibson alongside Scholes and play Rooney, who is short of games, up front with Tevez.
The Daily Telegraph has United playing like this:
Manchester United (Probable, 4-4-2): Foster, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Ronaldo, Gibson, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, Wellbeck
I’m not convinced that Sir Alex Ferguson will play both Ferdinand and Vidic, even if Evans is ruled out while Tevez is sure to start.
