Manchester United are to field a virtual reserve side against the Sky Blues in tomorrow's League Cup tie at Old Trafford.
Speaking to Manchester United radio, Sir Alex Feguson said he will use squad players such as Nani,Anderson,John O'Shea,Tomasz Kuszczak,Chris Eagles and Gerard Pique in the game which looks to have the biggest ever attendance for a League Cup Third Round tie.
Manutd.com report the long serving Scot as saying: "This is a really important night for these players. They all want regular first-team football and that's not easy to manage. I'm trying to get them games in the Premier League and in Europe too, but Wednesday is a great opportunity for them.
"You have to use your squad throughout the course of the season and I'll be doing that when the time's right. At the moment they might not see that, but it will happen and I know they won't let us down.
"A lot of these players have already shown great improvement. Chris Eagles has been sensational in training and the games he's played in. Young Jonny Evans and Gerard Pique have also been excellent, as has Danny Simpson."
