Smalling and Park surprise starters in Manchester derby

Park Ji-sung and Chris Smalling were handed their first Premier League starts since January as Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson made four changes for tonight’s crucial clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Looking to protect a three-point lead at the top of the table, Ryan Giggs and Phil Jones were also included as Danny Welbeck, Antonio Valencia, Rafael and Jonny Evans missed out.
