Sir Alex Ferguson hails Wigan Athletic and their manager Roberto Martinez in his latest press conference before Wigan’s trip to Old Trafford...
Wigan’s recent draw against Chelsea in the English Premier League has put them in the spot light in the press but Roberto Martinez’s men have been treading lightly in the league. After a disastrous start to the Premier League season,
the Latics still remain close to the relegation zone and remain favourites to go down this season after escaping the drop last season in the English Premier League.
Roberto Martinez has already led his team to the draws against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Chelsea but now they face a test against Manchester United when they travel in their next league encounter to Manchester to play at Old Trafford against
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men.
Sir Alex praised http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 the other day and I thought Wigan were terrific. It says a lot for Roberto Martinez – he continues to play good football irrespective of what position
they're in. We have a good record against Wigan but we won't take anything for granted. We need to keep out foot on the pedal.”
He further stated, “I don't think they're a relegation team – they do well against the bigger teams. Last year, I think they lost heavily to Chelsea [6-0 at the DW Stadium] and, this season, they got a draw and could have won.
I think Wigan will stay in the Premier League.”
Manchester United will hope that they can gain all three points against Wigan Athletic and by doing so keep up the pressure on Manchester City who are still two points ahead of the current league champions. City defeated United
by six goals to one earlier on in the season but since then, United have gathered pace and done remarkably well in the Premier League standings as they currently stand at second place in the league table.
