Ince: Man Utd is very scary

Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Ince says facing Manchester United attacking stars Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez is “scary”.

Asked about how you plan for playing against United’s four deadly weapons, the Rovers boss admitted: “It’s scary, isn’t it?

“You can spend all week, as I have done, discussing tactics and personnel. I probably thought about playing 20,000 different teams. But when a team is that good, sometimes you can’t do anything about it.

“We tried hard and went in there with a lot of confidence. But they are so good.

“They’re a fantastic team, they always play with pace and wingers and they’re a joy to watch at times.

“Even so, I was proud of my lads. We’ll learn from this game.

“When United play like that they’re awesome.

“People were saying they weren’t playing well — but they have so much quality.

“When you can bring on Tevez from the bench, who would probably cost more than our entire first 11, that just shows what you are up against.”
