Fulham vs Man Utd : Experience key for Sir Alex
Posted On Friday, February 29, 2008 at at 8:45 PM by kaunghtoomaung
Ferguson's side face Fulham at Craven Cottage tomorrow aiming to peg back a three-point gap on the Gunners at the top of the table with Chelsea also in the frame.
United are scoring goals for fun and thrashed Newcastle 5-1 at St James' Park at the weekend.
Ferguson said: "We have real experience in Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar. That is important.
"In addition Gary Neville and Mikael Silvestre will be back shortly (after injury) and add to that experience.
"You have to look at the bigger picture for the whole season. You don’t want to be sat on the sidelines, but you can’t get too down. Everyone here is happy to miss the odd game if you can win trophies at the end of the season."- Michael Carrick
Fergie confident of Neville return

The 33-year-old Manchester United skipper has played just twice for the reserves since sustaining the injury in March last year and lasted just 45 minutes of a reserve game against Everton last month, also struggling with thigh and calf problems.
But Ferguson told the Daily Telegraph: "Gary is training, the same as last week, and we are hoping there are no more setbacks and that he gets a trouble-free run-in. If he does that, then I have no doubts he will come back."
However it is something he is taking on the chin as the club go for glory on three fronts - Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.
Along with Darren Fletcher, Carrick returned to midfield and helped United thrash Newcastle 5-1 at the weekend.
But whether they will retain their places against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday remains to be seen.
Paul Scholes, Owen Hargreaves and Ji-Sung Park are all pushing to return to the starting line-up.
Anderson can also sit in midfield, although he is comfortable on the wing and that is where United have top quality as well in the shape of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and Nani.

MANCHESTER (PA Sport) - Ferguson was delighted with his side's continuing response to their 2-1 derby defeat by Manchester City a fortnight ago.
He said: "We were all disappointed with the performance against Manchester City and the players did their best to atone for that against Arsenal last week and in midweek against Lyon, which was a very good result.
"And today stresses the urgency to try to do better and be top of the league."
Ferguson also hailed his forwards and said: "We freshened up the midfield.
"But really the match was settled by the ability of the front players who were absolutely fantastic, we could have scored more goals.
"They (the forwards) all did really well, Ronaldo and Rooney will take the headlines but the movement of (Carlos) Tevez and the penetration of Nani (added) to all that.
"It was a good team performance, I'm delighted, because coming to Newcastle is never easy, it is a volatile place to come.
