Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted at making sweeping alterations to his Manchester United side at Hull City on Sunday. The Red Devils head into the final day contest with the Premier League title already wrapped up. That has awarded them the luxury of being able to rest key men ahead of a UEFA Champions League final clash with Barcelona. Ferguson certainly intends to rotate his squad when heading to the KC Stadium, but has assured the Tigers' relegation rivals that he will not be taking the contest lightly. "This is the best squad I've ever had," the United boss told MUTV. "I could have picked two teams against Arsenal last week, and I'll be picking a team on Sunday against Hull that will reflect that strength. "We have a fantastic squad of around 28 or 29 players now, which includes the likes of (Federico) Macheda, (Danny) Welbeck, (Rodrigo) Possebon, (Darron) Gibson, Rafael and Fabio. "They are young but they're very, very good players, and good characters, too. I think that gives us a back-up that we've never had before."
