McGrath tells Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Play kids against Liverpool - focus on Prem

Manchester United FA Cup winner Paul McGrath says they should play the kids against FA Cup opponents Liverpool.

McGrath wrote for the Sunday World: "If I was in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's boots this afternoon – I'd go for broke.

"I'd fill out my team with kids against Liverpool in the FA Cup fourth round at Old Trafford and let the chips fall where they may.

"Remember, if you are a young footballer at Manchester United, you are a very good player.

"So let them take on a very fragile Liverpool, who may well have youngsters in action themselves, and the young Devils might win.

"If they don't, then what harm in the bigger scheme of things.

"Bring back the first-teamers for the match with Sheffield United on Wednesday and try to get the three points there.

"If you have told any Stretford Ender that at the start of the season, they'd have taken you hand off for the club to be where it is now.

"So trying to win a Premier League, that is without a dominant team, has to be United's sole ambition now."
