Manchester United’s manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has admitted that he is rather surprised by the fact that his side have claimed top spot in the Premier League.
Both United and Manchester City were in action in the Premier League last night. Prior to the kick off, City were sitting in the top spot, with two points separating them from United.
However, with United winning their game by two goals to nil and following City’s one goal to nil loss to Swansea, the Red Devils are now sitting on top of the league table with a point lead over their arch rivals.
Alex Ferguson is kind of surprised by the fact that his side were able to claim the top spot, but the manager has admitted that the narrow lead should not be taken for granted and that his team needs to try and maintain their lead at the top.
The Red Devils boss, when talking about his surprise to claim top spot is quoted to have said “That was a bonus I didn’t expect that maybe. At this time of the season points will be dropped and you have to make sure you don’t drop as many as your opponents.”
“If you can keep winning that is the name of the game for both of us. If you keep winning the games whittle away and you run out of games.”
The manager also insisted that he didn’t mind how his team got to the top, since they are there. He also hopes that his side can stay on top, given how there are only a few weeks left to go in the season.
Ferguson then went on to add: “You don’t mind but I don’t care about being top of the league just now. I’m happy to be there because only a few weeks ago we were five/seven points behind them and now we’re one point ahead.”
The ball is now in United’s court and it is up to the Red Devils to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Nonetheless, the Premier League clash between United and City could potentially go on and decide the outcome of the season.
