The veteran Scotsman said that it is a bonus for Manchester United that City slipped up against Swansea at the weekend as he didn’t expect them to do so in the course of the English Premier League title race...
Sir Alex has come out and revealed that he didn’t expect Manchester City to lose at Swansea given their recent form in the English Premier League. The title race took a dramatic turn on Sunday when Manchester United gained a vital
2-0 win against West Brom whereas City lost their match against Swansea City. With United gaining all three points at Old Trafford, the defending champions are now at the top of the league table with just ten matches remaining, with a one point advantage over
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Maninci’s men.
Both City and United are scheduled to play on 30th of April, 2012 before the end of the season in the Premier League, a match that might decide the destination of the English Premier League trophy. Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752’s team were
helped by Wayne Rooney’s impressive run of form on Sunday as the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 striker notched up two goals against the Baggies to fire United to the top of the table.
Sir Alex 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. 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.”
He added, “So we’ve turned around eight points and that’s credit to the players and also the resilience of our squad because as everyone knows we’ve had a lot of injuries.” Speaking about United’s win against West Brom, the Scotsman
said, “It was a great performance. It took us a little bit of time to get the rhythm of our game right but once we got that we played some exciting stuff. It was really good football. We could have scored a lot of goals.”
