ALEX FERGUSON says he will not be bullied out of playing Patrice Evra at Anfield.
Manchester United face Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup in a fortnight — with Evra sure to get a hostile ride after the Luis Suarez affair.
Asked if he would pick Evra, United boss Ferguson said: "It would not be a problem for me."
Liverpool striker Suarez has an eight-game ban for racially abusing Evra in a match at Anfield in October.
But Evra has come through the difficult time with his form intact.
Ferguson even made him captain until the end of the season ahead of Rio Ferdinand with Nemanja Vidic sidelined.
He said: "Rio would've been captain if he didn't have that inconsistency because of injuries.
"One of your players who will be playing all the time should be at the forefront to be your captain and that was the case with Patrice.
"They have marvellous qualities in terms of leadership, both of them.
"He's a very popular player with a good personality and you have to have a good personality to be a captain of this club."
United have rejected an offer of £500,000 from Newcastle for highly-rated teenager Ravel Morrison.
The controversial starlet, 18, has snubbed a new deal at Old Trafford.
Ferguson said: "His agent has been working hard to get him another club. We've offered him terms, which he refused."
