Team stronger than 1999 - Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson reckons Manchester United now have more players capable of fighting for trophies than during their historic 1999 treble-winning campaign.
.
Once again Ferguson's team are chasing a trio of titles in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.
.
The Scot said of his team's chances: "We have a stronger squad now."
.
"It's not easy to rotate but it has to be done. The biggest responsibility lies with me to pick the right team. We have a lot of important games."
.
Ferguson's strategy of rotating players was key to United's success in 1999, when their domestic achievements were capped by an injury-time win over Bayern Munich in the European Cup.
.
Reflecting on that campaign, Ferguson believes he has more options at his disposal than he did 14 years ago.
.
"When we went to the [Champions League] final, [Roy] Keane and [Paul] Scholes were suspended but Henning Berg was the only injury," Ferguson added.
.
"I still had to pull in a player [Jonathan Greening] who had only played once or twice in the first-team.
.
"He got a medal for being on the bench. That gives you an idea of the strength of the squad.
.
"It is nice to look back on these things and think how it was done at that particular time.
.
"But the reality is that we should not get carried away, particularly in the FA Cup when anything can happen. You don't want to be a shock."
