Although surely it is the other way around, and Fergie overestimated the strength of his own squad; yes you Bellion, Miller, Djemba etc.

Someone called Steve Flack told the Sun, “Alex Ferguson has put out a team he felt would do a job. But it hasn’t quite worked out like that. If they had played their big players, we would have come away with a heavy defeat.

“We all know the players that they have — the likes of Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand. They can win games on their own. This was the best result in our club’s history. There’s no doubt about that.

“They have had more possession, while we had one or two little chances. If they play a stronger side, it will be extremely hard in the replay. But we are just looking forward to entertaining them at our place.”

Does he play for them or is he a fan? Who knows?
