Fergie: Everyone has part to play

Alex Ferguson has assured his squad they all have a part to play in what could be a “big year” for Manchester United.

With another meeting against Real Madrid looming next Tuesday, Ferguson knows he must get his team selection right at Old Trafford if United are to progress to the quarter-finals.

That is bound to mean disappointment for some, as it did in the Bernabeu a fortnight ago. On that occasion, skipper Nemanja Vidic headed a list of high-profile omissions, with neither Ashley Young nor Nani included either.
