Fergie defends team selection

(15-09-2010) Sir Alex Ferguson has defended his team selection following Manchester United’s limp 0-0 draw against Rangers in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Red Devils gaffer made 10 changes to the line-up that started the 3-3 draw at Everton last Saturday. Only Darren Fletcher retained his place, while Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand were recalled. "The criticism will be why didn't I play a stronger team," said Fergie afterwards. "I think I played a very strong team. People forget eight of them played against Chelsea in the Charity (Community) Shield.” He added: "It's a terrific squad of players we have and there was no problem playing them. They should have won that game, but give credit to Rangers, their system is very difficult to break down."
