The Red Devils’ boss claimed that the travelling supporters at Ewood Park played a major role in his side claiming three points late on.
United supporters have definitely been the luckiest in the past twenty-five years or so, as Sir Alex Ferguson has guided the Manchester giants to one trophy after another.
Silverware is considered the norm at Old Trafford at the end of the season and there is actual dissent when the trophy cabinet does not receive new additions.
Furthermore, Fergie’s philosophy of favouring the results more than pretty football has also gone down well with fans, who appreciate his hunger for success rather than an eye-catching game.
The Reds’ have also instilled a die-hard mentality, which has enabled them to gather numerous accolades and points over the years. The team simply does not give up and go an all out attack in the dying minutes to rescue something from the games, more often
than not this tactic has resulted in some sensational results.
However last night was a testing for the reigning champions, as they failed to get the better of Blackburn for most the match. But inspired by the backing of their beloved fans, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 and Ashley Young scored screamers to send the travelling supporters
into expected delirium.
After the game, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson claimed the vocal support of the fans was a major boost and it had helped his side secure victory.
"They were fantastic. They are unbelievable. They deserved the result tonight because they never stopped. They urged us on the whole way; they almost sucked the ball in. It's like the Stretford End at times, in the last 15 minutes of matches, and that's
what it was like tonight."
United winger Ashley Young also reveled in the volume created by the fans and revealed his admiration for them.
"They were singing from the first minute right until the end. It was great to see some of the fans when we came out and we are delighted to get the three points for them.”
United’s vocal supporters will now have the chance to cheer for them once more, this time at Old Trafford, where they host QPR on Sunday.
