Rio a doubt for Liverpool
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that his reshuffled defence against Bolton was a pre-emptive experiment in case Rio Ferdinand misses Sunday's clash with Liverpool.
The England defender continues to carry a slight back injury and, with the Merseysiders' visit to Old Trafford looming large, Sir Alex opted to rest Patrice Evra and Wes Brown, fielding a defence of Owen Hargreaves, Nemanja Vidic, Gerard Pique and John O'Shea against Gary Megson's side.
"We made a lot of changes and I think that was necessary because, with Rio Ferdinand doubtful for Sunday, we had to find out about young Gerard Pique," Sir Alex told MUTV after the 2-0 win.
"Weve got great confidence in the lad and hes come through very well. That was important. We also wanted to rest Wes Brown in case Rio doesnt make it, then weve got the alternative of playing Wes at centre-back thats a decision well have to make.
"We tried Owen Hargreaves at right-back, and we can play John OShea there on Sunday and bring Patrice Evra in. Its important to do these things tonight, simply because of Rios injury."
