Ferguson, whose side takes a 1-0 lead into Tuesday's quarterfinal second leg, knows that the striker's suspension does not include European competition.
"Knowing Wayne, he will be spurred on by what has happened to him. It won't crush him, that's for sure,"
"Wayne is disappointed. He thinks he has been victimized. The way we are looking at it is to use this for our fans. They have been great. The players too will show their determination," he added.
