Ferguson will stick with Man Utd kids for semis

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he'll stick with his young players for their Carling Cup semi.

United are yet to learn who they will meet in the last four but, whoever they get, Ferguson knows exactly which pool of players will benefit.

"I want these lads to enjoy the semi-final because they will play again," said Ferguson after victory over Tottenham last night.

"We are gaining as a club because they are getting the chance to play in these matches. They are all definitely getting better."
