Due to Ferdinand’s injured calf that was caught in the warm-up before United’s first league loss this season on February 5, still Ferdinand will remain unavailable for the match against Liverpool.
Nemanja Vidic who has been suspended after United’s second league loss this season on March 1st , Vidic will have to miss the match.
"Rio won't be fit. Wes will take over, he has great experience." Said Sir Alex.
Basically, United’s defense will consist of Brown and Smalling at the center of the defense. Hopefully with Brown’s experience and Smalling’s strength, United should hold on against the Liverpool offense.
This going to be a test for Smalling as well as Brown.
