Warnock furious as Boro rest stars

Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock has branded Gareth Southgate “a disgrace” after the Boro boss fielded a weakened line-up in the defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.

Southgate, with one eye on last night’s FA Cup quarter-final with Manchester United, rested striker Mark Viduka and centre-back Jonathan Woodgate for the 2-0 defeat which allowed City to move six points clear of the relegation zone.
