Manchester United manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson believes that the Red Devils upcoming game against Tottenham could potentially decide the fate of his side.
The Red Devils are currently sitting in the second spot in the league table, with two points separating them from Manchester City.
As a result, it is crucial for United to go on and win almost every single one of their upcoming games, in hopes of catching up with their local rivals.
With the team now set to take on Tottenham, Ferguson feels that if his team fails to win the game, it would become impossible for his side to catch up with City in the league.
The manager wants his team to stay close on the heels on City, as he wants to beat the team in their upcoming game in April, which he hopes would prove to be the title decider this term.
When talking about the upcoming game and highlighting just how important it is going to be for United to win it, Ferguson is quoted to have said: "It's going to be a massive game [at Spurs].”
"If we can survive that one, then we'll have a big chance of winning the league.”
"I would take it [being two points behind City going into the game at the Etihad Stadium]. I would rather go there on level points.”
"But if we could go there within striking distance of being top of the league, I'd take it."
The Red Devils boss then went on to talk about the injuries to his squad, as he believes the young players just need a couple of more months, before their bodies adjust to life in the Premier League.
Ferguson then went on to add: "They are young players and they had been carrying little strains for weeks.”
"Then all of a sudden it hits them, and we had to take stock, to get them back. We've given them a fair break and they're fresh now."
It is now a wait to see just how United play against Tottenham this coming weekend, as both the teams will be desperate to pick up the three points from their upcoming match.
