MY PREDICTION UTD v REAL

I AM rooting for a Utd win but I have a bad feeling in my guts that Real will leave Old Trafford with a 3-1 victory.

I think the loss of Phil Jones - who policed Ronaldo so well in the Bernabeu - will prove a major loss.

I hear Fergie is thinking of flooding the midfield with Valencia, Carrick, Anderson, Rooney and Young - with Van Persie alone up front.

If that happens, they will have a chance. The power of Anderson will certainly be needed against Madrid's strong midfield.

If Fergie drops a clanger and starts with Giggs instead of Anderson I fear the worst. Giggs has been a genius but when he and Carrick start together they are simply too slow.
