Ferguson admits Man Utd stars want Valencia action

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he'll go with a strong line-up against Valencia.

Ferguson admits his players are champing at the bit after the postponement of Saturday's trip to Blackpool.

"I think we need it," Sir Alex told his pre-match press conference. "We haven't played for 10 days and I will play our strongest side tomorrow. Then we have six days to prepare for the Arsenal game, so it's okay.

"We'd have preferred to play the game on Saturday. We wanted it to be played. The only advantage we've got is that no-one gets injured. I suppose it's a bit of fortune in that way, but I think the players would rather have played. But we've trained well, we've got the benefit of undersoil heating at our training ground, which is always an advantage, so I think we're ready."
