Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson claims that United’s match against West Ham United is the key to win treble.
Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, has claimed that the Red Devils away match against West Ham United in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday, 2nd April, will decide the club’s fate of winning three different competitions in the ongoing 2010-11
season.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 said, “The big one is Saturday because we are depleted in one area of the pitch. With eight games to go, you can't exclude anyone. Whoever is the most consistent will win this league. But we should not over-stretch ourselves in terms of looking
forward. This game is as important as any”.
Despite an international break, most of the injured Manchester United players, especially defenders have failed to recover in the time span of two weeks.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rafael-c30339 all are declared unfit for the visit to Upton Park.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stuart-Holden-c34260.
Manchester United are also without any specialist right-back and it seems like the young Brazilian, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152, will replace his brother, Rafael, on the right flank.
Ferguson added, “I thought the two-week break would bring a few of them on. It has but not enough for them to play on Saturday. We are considerably short for the right-back position. We have to solve that - and find the right solution”.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550’s return to the squad will surely boost Manchester United’s chances against West Ham United. The Red Devils’ skipper, who has not played in the last 2 matches for United, gave a second half performance in Serbia’s International friendly,
recently.
Moreover, in-form centre-half, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling, is likely to partner Nemanja Vidic at Upton Park where Manchester United has claimed only six wins out of 17 matches.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s team will be aiming for all three points against West Ham United which will increase their lead to eight points ahead of second-placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 later, the same day.
A slip up for Manchester United at Upton Park will surely dent their hopes of winning a treble.
Moreover, the Red Devils are through to the quarterfinal of the UEFA Champions League where they will face local-rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. It will be a rematch of the 2008 UEFA Champions League final at Moscow, which Manchester United won on penalties.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s team will travel to Stamford Bridge this Wednesday, 6th April, for the first leg of the tie which will be followed by the return leg at Old Trafford next week.
Furthermore, United have also made it to the semi-final of the FA Cup after defeating Arsenal in the previous round. The Red Devils will face city rivals, Manchester City, in the last-four of the FA Cup on 16th April.
