Schalke Down, Chelsea Next To Go For United [Highlights]
Well, it takes quite a bit for a Liverpool fan to say this, but it was quite a piece of tactical calculations by Ferguson against Schalke.
He put his second string in the firing line and they certainly stood up to the challenge at Old Trafford, or otherwise known as ‘the Theater of Dreams’. This leaves his (almost) full starting XI fit to play against Chelsea in their crunch Premier League tie and alongside that they are given another shot at glory, with the Champions League trophy now well within their sights.
Check out the highlights from the encounter between Manchester United and Schalke!
Now Manchester United will be solely focused on wrestling back their Premier League crown as this week’s encounter will prove to be a make or break tie, with Chelsea set to go level on points should they achieve victory at Old Trafford.
Chelsea’s full squad have been rested for a week, following their elimination from the Champions League earlier on in the competition to Manchester United themselves, which might just prove to be a psychological edge for United on their London rivals.
