Manchester United<\/a> boss Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a> has insisted his youngsters will not be ‘hounded’ out of the club following their midweek failure to progress to the last 16 of the Champions League<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Devils slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Swiss side Basel on Wednesday, and will now feature in the Europa League, a stark contrast to last season’s Champions League runners-up position.<\/p>\n

The Scot refused to condemn his players, however, and insisted those coming under fire represent the future at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Ferguson told reporters: \u201cThese young players have already achieved many things.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris Smalling, Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck have all played for their country. These will be the foundation of the club in a few years’ time, there is no question about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese young players got a nasty experience on Wednesday but they know they have the trust of myself and their coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will not be hounded because of one bad performance. Time will prove us right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferguson will be looking for a response from his youngsters after the ignominious exit when the injury-stricken side prepare to face Wolves on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Club captain Nemanja Vidic was ruled out for the season on Friday with knee ligament damage.<\/p>\n
