Alex Ferguson to pick "different teams" against Everton, Real Madrid

Ferguson to pick "different teams"

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he will pick different teams for the games against Everton and Real Madrid.

United face Everton at Old Trafford tomorrow before a midweek trip to the Spanish capital for a last-16 Champions League tie against Madrid.

"It will be different teams," said Ferguson. "The team on Sunday will not be the same as the team that plays on Wednesday.

"I trust the squad of players I have. They are all internationals, they are all good players and there is no reason why I can't play them.

"They're all contributing in their own way and that gives us a better chance of dealing with the various competitions we're in."

Ferguson is also angry that Madrid, who face Sevilla in La Liga today, have an extra day's rest ahead of Wednesday's showdown. He said that he would "like to" boycott the game to show the Premier League that they must protect their top sides in Europe.
