Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is determined to beat Blackpool on Sunday.
United have been warned of fines if they field a weakened line-up.
"You should be criticised if you lose a game that affects other teams," said Ferguson.
"I remember we played Hull a couple of years ago and played a lot of young players but we won the game 1-0.
"For some reason the previous year, Neil Warnock found it easy to criticise us for losing to West Ham. But if he had seen the game we battered them, so it was a bit unfair."
