SAHA OUT WITH GROIN INJURY

Ferguson will pair Scandinavian strikers Henrik Larsson and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer against Aston Villa in Sunday's FA Cup tie at Old Trafford.

Louis Saha picked up a groin injury in the Reds' draw with Newcastle, and his enforced absence has created an opportunity to pair Solskjaer, 33, and Larsson, 35, against the Villains.

Solskjaer was rested for the trip to Tyneside. Sir Alex revealed:

“I didn't take Ole to Newcastle because he has played two games in four days. I thought he would be better resting ready for Sunday's match. He will play along with Larsson.”
