Man Utd boss Ferguson: Berbatov won't start CWC final

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Dimitar Berbatov will start from the bench in tonight's Club World Cup final against Quito.

"I still don't think Dimitar is quite ready for the game at the moment," said the manager at his pre-match press conference.

"He'll be on the bench and may play some of the match, but he's not ready to start. Other than that everyone is okay."

The United boss admits he still has a few decisions to make regarding team selection, but he did confirm Ji-sung Park would be a definite starter.

"Ji will play on Sunday," revealed Sir Alex. "I've still to choose my team, but I will make changes [from Thursday] and freshen things up because I have to consider the games we have back home.

"Nevertheless, I'll be playing a side capable of winning the final and hopefully we can do it."
