"I know we have some injury problems but we are not short of a squad," Ferguson told MUTV.
"I have plenty of experience to bring in. I rested Darren Fletcher against Cluj on Wednesday and just brought him on for the last 10 minutes.
"Michael Carrick will be back in. I also have Ashley Young,Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.
"That is what big squads allow you to do. You don't have every player every week. Our supporters must recognise that.
"Over the years we have had injury situations. Every club gets them. Normally you work on 10% of your squad being out every week with some sort of injury.
"That is the situation we are in at the moment but it is not desperate by any means."

Look at the first quote when SAF mentions his resting of Fletcher, being honest I wouldn't mind him starting. I'm very happy he didn't talk about Giggs or Scholes too, I think one of them will be benched and the other wont be in the squad at all. If Clevs passes his fitness test, I'd think this will be our midfield:
Carrick Fletcher
Clevs
Fletcher will start tomorrow

City may well be a due a defeat, but football doesn't always work like that.
That said, we are due a draw, which I think is what we'll get.

451 would be OK, but Rooney on the wing is a waste.
Play him in the middle.

I think 451 is most likely. In which case I wouldn't be too disappointed with both Scholes and Fletch starting alongside Carrick.

i think if we manage to score more goals than city tomorrow, there is a fighting chance we might win.

I think it is due to them spending a lot in a short time and the fact that our midfield is not olnly depeleted by injuries but also we still have two players near their 40s playing for us. They are not as good as they once were. takeaway the injuries and if giggs and scholes were 10 years younger, this situation wouldn't even warrent any fear.

If we had Anderson, Cleverley, Nani and Valencia fit I would be fairly confident.
