His job is to do what he thinks is best for Manchester United Football Club, nothing more, nothing less.
He picked a team that he thought was capable of winning the game, and he wasn't far wrong. Had Riley given the nailed on penalty to Utd towards the end (and anyone other than Berbatov had been taking it), he would probably have been proved right.
As a side note, was very impressed with the performance of a couple of Utd's youngsters, especially Wellbeck who, if he beefs up a bit, could well be one to watch for the future.
