Sir Alex Ferguson's calculated gamble paid off as Manchester
United remained on top of the Premier League even without the services
of Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand with a 4-0 win at Bolton.
Ferguson admitted the England duo would both have been risked at
Bolton had United's need been dire.
Instead, with Saturday's crunch clash with Chelsea splitting a
Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, the Red Devils
chief took the decision to let the pair nurse a bruised foot and
groin injury respectively.
