Hodgson hopes El Nino can brew up Old Trafford storm
The pair were left out of last night’s Europa League 4-1 win over Steaua Bucharest along with a number of first-choice players as Hodgson made eight changes in an attempt to give his side the best chance at Old Trafford.
Hodgson admits the match between the two north-west rivals has come earlier in the season than he would have wished but, by giving his star players maximum rest, the 62-year-old is confident they can put in a good performance.
