Soccer: Alex Ferguson plans to rest some of his Manchester United players when they host relegation-threatened Blackpool on the last day of the season.

United wrapped up the Premier League title with a 1-1 draw at Blackburn last weekend ahead of their Champions League final against Spanish champions Barcelona later this month.

Ferguson has indicated he will rotate his squad ahead of the Wembley showdown, no doubt to keep his key players injury-free.

But the Scot insists his tweaked United side will produce nothing less than a professional attempt to win the game so as not to hand the 18th-placed Seasiders an unfair advantage over their fellow strugglers.

"This gives us a real opportunity to look at how we can rest players and who needs to keep going," Ferguson said in the Daily Mail. "But we have a responsibility to make sure we are fair to all clubs who are struggling against relegation.

"Manchester United will try to win next Sunday, there is no doubt about that."
