Ferguson to ring changes

Alex Ferguson is ready to make changes even though Manchester United beat West Ham 6-0 in last weekend’s FA Cup clash at Old Trafford.

The Worthington Cup finalists travel to Southampton tomorrow with defenders Wes Brown and Mikael Silvestre available again after missing the Hammers romp.

Brown, who was on the bench, is likely to be drafted in to replace John O’Shea at the heart of the defence while Silvestre could regain his place at left-back at the expense of Phil Neville.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Barthez, G Neville, Ferdinand, Brown, Silvestre, Beckham, Veron, Keane, Giggs, Scholes, van Nistelrooy, Butt, P Neville, O’Shea, Solskjaer, Forlan, Carroll.
