YOKOHAMA — Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson insists his side is going all-out for Club World Cup glory this week, but is taking nothing for granted ahead of Thursday's semifinal clash with Gamba Osaka.
A place in the final of FIFA's intercontinental club competition awaits the winner of the match at Yokohama International Stadium, but Ferguson knows Gamba will be no pushover after seeing Akira Nishino's men down Adelaide United 1-0 in last Sunday's quarterfinal.
Ferguson has identified playmaker Yasuhito Endo and striker Lucas as Gamba's danger men, but knows his side will be helped by injuries to attackers Takahiro Futagawa and Hayato Sasaki.
