The veteran Scot claims that United enjoy securing results inside injury time and that such matches with late drama always appealed to both the players and supporters.
From the last-gasp triumph in the 1999 UEFA Champions League final to consistently securing results when the chips were down, it seems that securing late victories has become a staple of Old Trafford under Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s reign.
The tactician has always been delighted to pick up points rather than seeing his players play beautiful football on the pitch and that has been his formula for success over the past two decades.
This season United have increasingly sought to rescue matches at the very end and summer signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, Manchester City and Southampton.
Fergie and his troops recently showcased their penchant liking for scoring at the very end, clawing back into their tie against West Ham, with Van Persie yet again calmly sliding the ball into the back of the net.
And now Sir Alex has piled praise on his side’s never-say-die-attitude, claiming that it was not only impressive for the fans but the players relished it as well.
"At the end of the day, the finish to these games sends everybody home absolutely over the moon. They'll be walking down the street towards their cars, or getting in their cars and driving home, telling each other, 'What a game, absolutely fantastic',” said
the veteran coach while talking to the media.
Continuing, he added that matches such as the one against Newcastle United captivated everyone involved with the side and after so many years, it was in United’s DNA to secure late wins.
"I suppose the excitement of games like the Boxing Day win over Newcastle gets everyone going. You'd rather do without it, but being the manager of Manchester United you have to relish it and expect it to happen. That's just the club. That's how it is,”
Ferguson was quoted as saying while talking to the press.
The Red Devils now face Liverpool in their upcoming Premier League before taking on West Ham for their F.A Cup replay.
