Fergie counts cost of League Cup victory

MANCHESTER, England: Sir Alex Ferguson was left with mixed emotions after a largely youthful Manchester United side booked their place in the League Cup final with a 4-3 aggregate win over Derby County.

United's 4-2 victory at Old Trafford here on Tuesday against the second-tier strugglers, who took a shock 1-0 lead into this half of the tie, came at the cost of injuries to Jonny Evans, Rafael and Anderson.

"We have a few injuries tonight so it has been a bad night in that respect but we are in the final and we should be celebrating that," Ferguson told Sky Sports.
