Ferguson wants cast iron defence to improve on last season's European failure ahead of Galatasaray clash
So too should star striker Robin van Persie after recovering from an injury sustained on international duty

But with errors continuing to be made, that situation is no longer certain.

Lindegaard was selected against Wigan and though De Gea may return on Wednesday, the odds must be against the former Atletico Madrid man retaining his place for Sunday's crucial trip to Liverpool, where he was blamed for United's FA Cup exit last term.

'The most important thing I'm trying to achieve is experience of the English game,' said Ferguson.

'They are both young and don't have the experience of an Edwin van der Sar or Peter Schmeichel so alternating is not a problem for me.

'That's the policy I have been adopting and I'm comfortable with it.'

Ferguson confirmed Kagawa is fit to make his European bow after shrugging off a back complaint he picked up on international duty with Japan.

The summer arrival from Borussia Dortmund has quickly struck up an impressive partnership with Van Persie, although even with Wayne Rooney sidelined, Ferguson does have alternatives in attack, in stark contrast to his defensive woes.

Javier Hernandez is one. Due to a series of setbacks, the Mexican struggled to emulate his stellar debut season last term.
