Gary Neville looks set to be the big name player at Manchester United facing Champions League Final heartbreak, according to bookie Paddy Power.
With a full squad of 26 players from which to select his final squad of 18 Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he has a tough job on his hands in letting down the unlucky players who will miss out. Paddy Power are betting on Who Will Make United's Final Squad to face Chelsea in Moscow with captain Gary Neville a 7/1 outsider to make the cut. Having been out for most of the season with injury the Final may have come too soon for the experienced right-back.
Other established stars that may be sweating on a place include Darren Fletcher and Mikael Silvestre who are both 6/4 to make the final cut. However the versatile John O'Shea may be breathing a little easier, rated at 2/7 to make the cut.
Tomasz Kuszczak is more than expected to get the nod to be the substitute keeper. The Pole is 1/8 to make the squad to Ben Foster's 9/2.
Paddy Power, said: "You can easily write down Fergie's first 15 on a piece of paper, but that leaves another ten players sweating over the final three spots. It will be very interesting to see who Fergie goes with and who is left all dressed up in their Cup Final suits with nowhere to go."
