IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED

Last updated : 09 March 2003 By Editor

From The Independent:

Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to give youth a chance against Basle on Wednesday. With a Champions' League quarter-final berth already assured and some tricky Premiership fixtures to negotiate over the next two months, Ferguson is taking the opportunity to give some of his leg-weary first-teamers a break.

Injuries may dictate his final starting line-up, but rookies such as Darren Fletcher, Kieran Richardson and Daniel Nardiello can all expect to be involved, as can bit-part players Ricardo and Diego Forlan. With Mikaël Silvestre, Wes Brown and Roy Keane all doubtful, there could even be a rare start for David May.

The ease with which United have advanced to the last eight – nine wins from 10 starts in the competition so far, including the impressive 3-0 win over Juventus in Turin which secured the quarter-final berth – has led many pundits to suggest United are on course to repeat their triumph of four years ago.
