Super David Silva 21 said:Now i understand why teams do it when already qualified but, putting out a weakened team (and i don't know the full United side) but i know De Gea wasn't in net and Powell played and that Butner played but, if another team is needing a result from another side like most teams need this season and the team you need to win puts out a weakened side and loses, is that really Fair???
I think with it being the Champions league you should play your Champions side no matter what pending on injuries, play the strongest side and you could be 3-0 up at half time, then rest your key players second half.
So if we had qualified as group winners already you wouldn't want players rested for Sunday v Chelsea? They have earnt the right to do so in my book and I'd want us to do the same if we were in that position.
