Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he will consider resting some of his leading players against Blackpool, ahead of the Champions League final against Barcelona.

The Red Devils’ final domestic game against Blackpool on Sunday will have no bearing on the top of the Premier League table, as United have already won the title – although Blackpool are still fighting for their survival and will be seeking victory at Old Trafford to preserve their top-flight status.

With the European glamour showpiece against Barcelona at Wembley on May 28, the Scot will consider making changes to his team to face the Seasiders.

“This gives us a real opportunity to look at how we can rest players and who needs to keep going,” Sir Alex said, according to The Daily Mail.

“But we have a responsibility to make sure we are fair to all clubs who are struggling against relegation.

“Manchester United will try to win next Sunday, there is no doubt about that.”
