Meulensteen: Sir Alex Man Utd selection wrong for 2009 Champions League final

Former Manchester United No2 Rene Meulensteen says Sir Alex Ferguson fluffed his team selection for their 2009 Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.

Meulensteen was speaking with United We Stand.

"I thought we had enough quality to deal with them," he said.

"In hindsight, I think we didn't pick the right team with (Carlos) Tevez, (Dimitar) Berbatov and (Paul) Scholes on the bench.

"Three massive players who could have put more authority in the game, especially as a few players underperformed."
