Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he will rotate his squad to help manage a heavy schedule over the festive season.

The Red Devils travel to Swansea on Sunday and host Newcastle on Boxing Day.

They will then meet West Brom and Wigan before an FA Cup clash away to West Ham on January 5 completes a hectic program.

And the Old Trafford manager intends to utilise all members of his squad in order to cement his side’s position at the top of the Premier League.

“December has already been a hectic month and now we have this run of four games in 10 days – and then the FA Cup begins. That’s quite a program,” Ferguson told reporters.

“It will be a different team every game, absolutely no doubt about that. All the players will be involved, I will definitely be making changes.

“Using our pool of players will be important for us.”

United lead the Premier League standings by three points from champions Manchester City with a game in hand over their rivals.

The Red Devils have been in fine form in the league, winning their last five games including a 3-2 victory at City.
