Ferguson pinpoints Arsenal as main title rivals
Sir Alex Ferguson says that on current form the Premier League title race looks to
be between his Manchester United side and rivals Arsenal.
Both sides have started the new season in fine fashion, with nothing separating
the two teams at the top of the table.
United travel to the Emirates this Saturday, and Ferguson said: "At the moment I
think it's looking between Arsenal and ourselves at the top.
"When you come to January, though, and it really does start, then you expect to
see Liverpool and Chelsea.
"We have had some incredible injury situations, but over the last few years we've
been like that at early season with a lot of injuries.
"I hope and pray that by the time we come to December - because the second
half of the season is where it really begins - we have got a good strong squad
together.
"I feel that once we get that strong squad together we are capable of going and
winning the league again."
One of the main reasons for United's promising start to the campaign has been
the flourishing partnership between Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney up front.
Many doubted whether two players of similar style could be partnered together,
but Tevez's willingness to work hard and adapt has proven all the critics wrong.
Ferguson said: "What I have noticed about the boy here, since he has come to
us, is that when he loses the ball he wants it back which is a great attribute to
have as a striker really, not every striker thinks that way. So he's got a lot of
great things about him and most importantly that great enthusiasm to play."
