  Since we qualified already, Fergie should rest the players for the match against Pool on Sat.

  Fergie to rest stars in Rome
  
  Midfielder Owen Hargreaves is virtually certain to be among those excused the flight to Italy after suffering a minor calf problem in the warm-up against Derby.
  
  Ryan Giggs and Edwin van der Sar are almost sure to stay at home as well, with only Hargreaves' late replacement Michael Carrick and central midfield partner Anderson set to retain their starting spots.
  
  China international Dong Fangzhou is among a number of youngsters likely to get a game, with Ferguson keen to take the opportunity to blood some of his fringe men, who have been denied first-team experience by United's unexpected Carling Cup exit at the hands of Coventry.
  
  "It is a golden opportunity for us and we are not going to miss it," said Ferguson.
  
  "Roma have qualified, so they will probably play some younger players and so will we.
  
  "I will take a lot of the first-team squad with me because I need 18 players but it will be an almost completely different team."

  With Roma also through to the knockout phase, Ferguson has confirmed that reserve keeper Tomasz Kuszczak will start in Italy. There will also be rare opportunities for Jonny Evans, Gerard Pique, Chris Eagles and Dong Fangzhuo ahead of United's key league game against arch-rivals Liverpool next weekend.

  U left out Dong and Evans
  
  So i say
  
  Kuz
  
  Simpson Evans Pique O'Shea
  
  Eagles Fletcher Carrick Nani
  
  Dong Saha

  FERGIE TO REST STARS AGAINST ROMA
  
  
  
  Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed his intention to field an almost entirely different team in Rome this week compared to the one used to defeat Derby 4-1 at Old Trafford.
  
  With their place at the top of Group F already secure and Roma guaranteed to finish runners-up, the Manchester United boss sees no reason to risk his key men at the Stadio Olimpico, especially with a blockbuster confrontation with Liverpool looming at Anfield next weekend.
  
  Midfielder Owen Hargreaves is virtually certain to be among those excused the flight to Italy after suffering a minor calf problem in the warm-up against Derby.
  
  Ryan Giggs and Edwin van der Sar are almost sure to stay at home as well, with only Hargreaves' late replacement Michael Carrick and central midfield partner Anderson set to retain their starting spots.
  
  China international Dong Fangzhou is among a number of youngsters likely to get a game, with Ferguson keen to take the opportunity to blood some of his fringe men, who have been denied first-team experience by United's unexpected Carling Cup exit at the hands of Coventry.

  Reds' Italian test
  
  If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
  
  Unable to beat Coventry City in the Carling Cup earlier this season, United's youngsters will now be handed the task of toppling Italian giants AS Roma.
  
  A number of first-team regulars are expected to be left behind when the Reds fly to Rome on Tuesday morning for the following night's Champions League group match, leaving room for some of Sir Alex's younger troops.
  
  "There's no doubt we'll take some young kids," the manager told Manchester United Radio. "We've won the group and Roma are guaranteed second place, so there's no issue with us potentially affecting the outcome of the group.
  
  "We wanted to give the young boys experience playing in the Carling Cup but they let themselves down against Coventry. Now there's a chance for the likes of Jonny Evans, Gerard Pique, Danny Simpson and Chris Eagles to elevate themselves. We know all about their ability but this is an opportunity for them to prove themselves.
  
  "They won't be on their own, though. They'll have back-up from players like John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick, Louis Saha, Nani and Anderson. Cristiano Ronaldo might possibly be involved as well.
  
  "We're not in the habit of sending teams out to lose. We'll be sending out a time that we think is good enough to win."
