Tough choices for Fergie

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has a selection dilemma ahead of the Champions League final against Chelsea in Moscow.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has a selection dilemma ahead of the Champions League final against Chelsea in Moscow.

Ferguson concedes he will find it difficult naming not only his team but also the seven substitutes after taking 24 players to Russia.

With all his key men fit, he could be tempted to pick the side that beat Wigan to retain their Barclays Premier League title nine days ago.

Paul Scholes was in that team and has already been promised a place in the starting line-up tomorrow after missing the 1999 European Cup victory through suspension.

Ryan Giggs is meanwhile poised to overtake Bobby Charlton’s record of 758 appearances for the club.

Team (from) Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Brown, Neville, O’Shea, Silvestre, Pique, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Park, Nani, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Saha, Welbeck.
