The veteran Manchester United manager revealed that his team have to win at Tottenham in order to keep within touching distance of league leaders, Manchester City as the English Premier League draws to a close...
Sir Alex Ferguson has made it clear that Manchester United’s title credentials will be put to the test against Tottenham Hotspur on the upcoming weekend as both the teams meet at White Hart Lane in North London.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752’s team won their last league encounter against Tottenham earlier on in the season when both the outfits played at Old Trafford and at the moment Manchester United are second in the league just ahead of Tottenham who are
placed third. United also won their latest league match against Norwich City at the previous weekend by 2-1 as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 scored a late winner for the Red Devils to secure all three points.
However Tottenham were not so lucky as they gave up a two goal advantage to succumb to a 5-2 loss at the hands of their derby rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. It will be interesting to see whether or not Manchester United are able to get all
three points at Tottenham as a failure to do so might end their title chances altogether considering City’s impervious form for the time being.
Sir Alex 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.”
He also spoke at length about the injuries in Manchester United’s camp. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 is set
to make a comeback for United as he has recovered from his sore throat which kept him out of the tie against Norwich City. There are injury concerns for Tottenham as well as Rafael Van der Vaart and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ledley-King-c21859 are major doubts for the match against Manchester
United.
