Keen to top group: Fergie

"It's not that you're afraid of them but you want to keep them out of the road until later.

"Valencia will want to be top of the group too, so it should be an interesting game. They changed their system for the first time I can remember when they played Villarreal a few weeks ago.

"They went five at the back, which is unusual for them. They've always had a back four with one sitting in front."

United lost their position at the top of the Premier League after their scheduled game away to Blackpool on Saturday was postponded due to a frozen pitch.

"Maybe in seasons gone by you'd look at the fixture list and say, 'Right, we should get nine points out of those three games and six out of those two'; and then you'd go into the games against Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal wanting to win, but perhaps focusing more on not losing," said Wes Brown.
