"At
home to Burnley in April 1957, United fielded eight reserves,
and nine of the players had not appeared in the previous first
team game two days before. Matt Busby was resting the first team
in preparation for the European Cup semi-final against Real Madrid
three days later. United still beat Burnley 2-0."
- Michael Crick tells how Alex Ferguson wasn't the first United
manager to deliberately field a weakened side. |
