It' s got to be nice to have the squad depth of Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United - they currently are on a run of one loss in the past 23 matches in all competitions, and a record breaking 13 consecutive matches without conceding a goal.
In their last shutout victory - a 1-0 win over West Ham United last weekend - it was a United team that had Rooney, Evra, Anderson, Hargreaves and Evans all out injured, and Fletcher, Nani, Neville and Park on the bench.
In this Sky Sports News report, Ferguson credits it all to squad depth for the defending champions. Credit Ferguson for not only building a team that goes 14-15 deep against any team in the world, but also a squad that has a young enough nucleus that is intact for years to come.
"I select the team that I consider is the best for each particular match," said Ferguson. "I have got a great many factors in mind, ranging from the tactical to who needs a rest and who we play in the next game.
I can give you my best 14 or 15, but better than that, all I can say is that is a squad game and that we have a damn fine squad. In fact it is the best."
