Ferguson reveals keeper plansManchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has explained his decision to recall Roy Carroll to the first team ahead of USA International Tim Howard.
However, Ferguson has also refused to confirm whether Carroll will definitely make up for the disappointment of not starting last year's Cup final win over Millwall by retaining his place this time around.
He told Sky Sports: "It's coming up to the final,
"Roy had a spell out, which has brought him on actually. In training sessions, he's been fantastic.
"For Tim, it's really about experience. He plays in games for us every week and sometimes only has one save in a game to make, and that's the difficult part of being a keeper at our club.
"So, therefore, Roy's experience today comes on top of Tim's lack of experience. He needs more and more games, more to do, more action, to bring him on that step because Tim is a tremendously technically gifted keeper.
"He is lightning quick, his distribution is terrific and there are lots of good parts to Tim that will come on in the years ahead.”
He declared: "What I want to do is have the two of them getting football behind them and, when it comes to final day, hope I pick the right one,"
