Man Utd boss Ferguson ponders how to silence star Barcelona trio

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he's plotting a way to silence Barcelona's midfield for the Champions League final.

Fergie plans to present Barcelona with at least as many problems as they give United. "Obviously, Barcelona is the big one now," he said.

"In the final last time we started off really well, then gave away a bad goal. After that Barcelona kept the ball very well, as they always do.

"What we have to do is find a solution to the Xavi-Messi-Iniesta problem.

"Everyone is searching for that because they are outstanding footballers. We have our share too.

"We have players who can cause any team a lot of bother and hopefully those attacking players will give Barcelona problems that everyone thinks they are going to give us."
