Man Utd boss Ferguson delighted substitutions worked

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was happy to see his changes come off in victory at Valencia.

With little over 10 minutes of normal time left, the boss opted for youth by introducing Chicharito and Federico Macheda to the action. His changes paid off handsomely for the Reds, as Anderson and Dimitar Berbatov took a well-earned breather.

The United manager said: "It was Anderson's first game back for a long time playing at that level so he had to come off at some point and Berbatov did a great job in terms of the work he put in. The changes suited us in terms of energy and speed."
