Sir Alex Ferguson on young blood for the Carling cup

Tomorrow sees another Carling cup campaign and another chance for the manager to give squad members who don't get much of a run in the first team a chance to impress. United have won the last 2 campaigns beating Aston Villa, last year and Tottenham, the year before on penalties.

"We played a lot of young players last season and they all acquitted themselves well," Sir Alex told ManUtd.com. "We’ll do the same tomorrow at Scunthorpe. A lot of my young players will play. Bebe is training very well. He’ll be involved tomorrow night. Federico Macheda will as well. The Carling Cup’s served us well over the last few seasons - it allows me to keep everybody happy in terms of giving people games and we’ve reached the last two finals, which has its obvious advantages. Playing at Wembley and competing for medals on the big stage is terrific for players’ development." United travel to Scunthorpe tomorrow night and kick off is at 7:45pm B.S.T.
