"What you'll find is they are not playing.[LNB]Rubbish"When that happens people make an issue of it. But stuff about a dust-up with Anderson is absolute rubbish."[LNB]Michael Carrick has also found himself on the outside looking in, but Ferguson insists he is only using squad rotation.[LNB]The long-serving Red Devils boss has hinted Darron Gibson could be given a more prominent role with his game improving all the time.[LNB]"We had Fletcher and Scholes back for Wigan so it was just a matter of freshening it up," he continued.[LNB]"We are also trying to push Darron Gibson on as much as we can because the boy has improved at a fantastic rate of knots.[LNB]"There is no reason other than that."[LNB]
