Ferguson's Gamble On Young Strikers Pays Off

Sir Alex Ferguson's daring substitutions in last night's game away to Valencia are a sign of the type of manager he is.

You would struggle to find many managers who are heading towards a valuable point at the stadium of the La Liga leaders and would throw on two young and unproven strikers.

But that's exactly what he did and Javier Hernandez and Federico Macheda combined to maximum effect to take all three points home from the Mestalla.

If Ferguson's gambles always pay dividends like this he should head over to Sky Poker and earn himself some spending money for the January transfer window.
