Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claims that the title race is surely back on, after his side’s lead at the top was cut back to five points.
The Red Devils sensationally returned to the summit of the Premier League after a serious upturn in their form in January.
Inspired by the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394, the reigning champions slowly but surely built up momentum and after Manchester City’s decline were able to cement their place at the top.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 but the Italian’s lack of experience in the squad has cost them dearly. Furthermore, disharmony in the dressing room played its part and City were eventually usurped by their arch rivals.
The title seemed to be on its way to Old Trafford given how things stood, but United were unable to maintain their composure against Wigan and succumbed to an unlikely defeat.
With five points separating them and their ‘noisy neighbours’ and the derby at the Etihad still to go, Reds’ boss Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson claims that the destiny of the title is again up for grabs.
"The race is back on isn't it?. They [City] have a chance don't they? They haven't been playing well, they've said that, but a 4-0 win is a good result at this time of the season."
The veteran tactician also claimed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager had chosen the wrong time to challenge him in the media.
"That doesn't matter to us. We've all got opportunities to talk about mind games. He [Mancini] has maybe picked the wrong time to say it."
Lastly he commented on the taunts that his fellow Glaswegian Alex McLeish has received lately, claiming that this sort of behaviour wasn’t possible back in his days.
"I think so, yes. It is a change in society. I spoke some time ago about the picture of the melee on the pitch between United and Leeds and in the background the fans were completely passive. You wouldn't get that today,” he said.
United now take on Aston Villa, while City play Norwich City.
