Several players were rested ahead of Wednesday’s Carling Cup semi-final against Manchester City, but this poor performance may force the boss to rethink his selection as United will not want to lose consecutive cup ties against local rivals.
“We have to get this result out of our system as quickly as possible,” added Sir Alex. “We have a semi-final on Wednesday and a lot of these players won’t be playing. You have to view this performance in the right light. We’ll make sure we’re ready for Wednesday now. We had a team in mind, but there will maybe be a few changes for that.”
That team may not include Nemanja Vidic, however, who pulled out of the starting line-up at the last minute against Leeds.

U***d are looking disjointed as I've said all season, and now they are getting found out more and more I can see them starting to lose ground in all competitions.
The likes of Rooney will be up for this one, but that doesn't mean the rest will.
PS. Just watching Taggarts PM interview and he's saying that it's a disgrace that there was only 5 minutes, slating the ref for it. Does anything change you sad git, get over it, LOOOOOOOOSSSSEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!

It was a disgrace that there was 5 minutes.
No injuries in the 2nd half, only 5 subs made.
How on earth did the ref come up with 5 minutes!?!?!?!
It's disgusting how ref's can get away with adding so much time on at OT everytime they're not winning. I'm not calling the refs cheats but surely the FA must notice that a pattern emerges at OT.
Wasn't there a study released not so long ago showing that there is more added time at OT when Utd aren't winning than at any other team's home ground?

Yes they studied this after the derby but i do believe Scouse 1 get the most injury time at home

There HAS to be a chant in there somewhere!
No fear whatsoever, they are a club in decline and it may be happening slowly but it is most definitely happening and won't be able to contain the likes of Tevez and Bellamy on Wednesday.
I laughed at the backpage of one of the rags over here today - apparrently we're going for Gatusso and are going to make him the richest footballer in the world on £250k a week! Besides the fact that it was clearly a load of bollox, my rag mate said to me "He can't get into the fucking Milan side regularly anymore, so he's certainly not good enough for city".
I just said to him "Say that again mate..." and he just told me to fuck off.
It was a beautiful moment.
Anyway, bring on the cunts - we're the next nail in their coffin, after which Milan should then follow suit which leaves the title....

Yeah i read that today aswell think it was in the sunday world, can't see it myself why would we want to pay a 31 year old that kind of money he's not as good as he used to be.

Yeah its a total load of bollox mate - I just thought it was funny to hear a rag saying if he's not good enough for AC Milan then he certainly isn't good enough for Manchester City.
Oh how the times have changed.
