Ferguson: Carling Cup great for Man Utd kids

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he'll stick with his kids in the Carling Cup.

Beating Wolves 1-0 at Old Trafford to book a fourth-round berth would have been able proof that the strategy is working. The fact Fabio was sent off for a professional foul, leaving United to complete the final hour with only 10 men just emphasised it.

"It does excite me that I can give the young lads a chance in this competition," said Ferguson. It is the only thing we can do.

"It is good for them to get the experience of playing at Old Trafford. It is a good breeding ground for young players."
