Man Utd boss Ferguson: I should have played Berbatov

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he was wrong to drop Dimitar Berbatov for last night's 0-0 draw with Rangers. Ferguson went with an attack of Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez at Old Trafford.

He said: "I wanted to see Chicarito [Javier Hernández] in a full game, which meant leaving out Berba, and you would have to say that was a loss because he has been fantastic so far this season and his ability to create situations from tight positions would have made a difference.

"If we'd won everyone would have said we deserved it but we didn't create … great chances. All our attempts were from outside the box, through Darron Gibson mainly, and we didn't get our first corner until about 70 minutes. We weren't short of players to win a game of football. We played with intensity and we dominated the game but we didn't create a chance."
