Manchester United manager said that winning the Premiership and the UEFA Champions League would be the only way to make up for his team's FA Cup exit. The Scot, who watched a fringe United side lose in the Cup semi-final at the hands of Everton on Sunday; said that his team can't win every competition they take part in. "It is always disappointing to lose a semi-final but you can't win them all and our targets are fairly obvious," Ferguson said after the game. "We have to win the league and hopefully get to Rome for the Champions League final)." Dead Pitch
United were beaten by Everton Ferguson added that he did not field United's strongest line-up after he saw that the New Wembley dead pitch could have harmed his superstars. "When I saw the pitch, what I didn't want was to go into extra-time with my strongest squad. "It looked spongy and dead and difficult to move the ball quickly around it. They've got all these lights around the perimeter to help the growth and the standard of the soil. But it looks dead to me. "So we had to go with the bold decision of playing the younger ones. After all, our club is built on giving young players opportunities and they didn't disappoint. While Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo were rested for United's league game against Portsmouth on Wednesday, Paul Scholes, Dimitar Berbatov and Patrice Era started the Everton clash on the bench.
