Ferguson wants every member of Man Utd squad recognised

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes every member of his squad will be recognised for their contribution this season.

That was the case at Fulham as Cristiano Ronaldo was rested and did not travel with the squad, while £30million striker Dimitar Berbatov was an unused substitute in the FA Cup quarter-final win.

Rio Ferdinand went over his ankle but Jonny Evans came on and he would relish a chance to face Inter.

John O'Shea also picked up a knock and it could lead to Darren Fletcher becoming a makeshift right-back on Wednesday - but that would not be a huge problem, given the ease at which Ferguson's players have adapted this season.

"My biggest concern is picking the right team and I'm leaving out great players all the time and that is not easy for me," said the United boss.

"I hope by the end of the year we all recognise that everyone has made a great contribution."
