Was really expecting this, i guess even the best can behave like AVB sometimes. No probs fergie It's a feeling that would pass...
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson blamed himself for picking an inexperienced back four after Ajax came close to knocking his side out of the Europa League.
United progressed to a last-16 tie with Athletic Bilbao but needed their 2-0 first-leg advantage after the Dutch side claimed a 2-1 win at Old Trafford.
Ferguson, who started with Fabio, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Rafael in defence, said: "I must say, I've got to accept I'm responsible for picking the team and I picked too many young players in the back four positions.
"That was a big problem in terms of experience. It was a big risk I took. For a European night it was too much of a risk.
"Ajax are fantastic in terms of keeping the ball. Their first goal I thought was a handball (in the build-up) but although they had a lot of possession they didn't look like scoring.
"But that goal gave them confidence and we only had one shot in the second half. We survived it with a bit of luck but we didn't play well in the second half and it was a nervy night."
