Ex-Man Utd star raps Ferguson for again dropping in-form Berbatov

Former Manchester United star Lou Macari has criticised Sir Alex Ferguson over his selection for their Carling Cup defeat at West Ham United.

United went into the match on the back of 7-1 victory against Blackburn with Dimitar Berbatov scoring five goals. Blackpool are next up on Saturday.

Macari was keen to see an unchanged side against West Ham.

"I want to see a winning team," he said. "But football is going in a different direction where we read and talk all the time about players getting tired.

"If the ones who had all played on Saturday had played again do not think they would not have been able to play against Blackpool? They would be itching to play.

"Berbatov scored five goals and would have been on all-time high. If he played again scored another couple there would have been more pats on the back. I am not a great believer in chopping and changing."
