Richard Bloch Blue Square Spokesperson commented:

“This game sees some of the wisest and longest serving managers come head to head. On paper it looks like an easy away win for United but Ferguson will use this as an opportunity to rest some of his key players and try out some of his fringe and squad players. A good value bet would be someone like Solskjaer or Smith to score first.”
