Ferguson inför Spurs
Ett formstarkt Tottenham kommer på besök på lördagseftermiddagen, ett Spurs som Ferguson lyfter fram som det bästa Spurslaget under hans tid.
Toppstriden i Premier League fick nytt liv förra helgen när Wigan och framför allt Spurs hjälpte United med vinster över Gunners och Chelsea, och Ferguson anser att årets upplaga av Tottenham á la Harry Redknapp är det bästa han skådat.
- I think this is the best Tottenham team in my time at United. When I came here they had Glenn Hoddle, Chris Waddle and Clive Allen, but this team has a lot of substance to it. He's done a great job, Harry.
- Of course I was delighted with Spurs’ displays against Arsenal and Chelsea. They were absolutely brilliant, and could've won by more goals than they did, but their performance level was terrific. Now I'm faced with the same problem, coming up against them.
Förra årets otroliga målkavalkad på Old Trafford slutade i en 5-2 hemmaseger, och skotten förväntar sig mer underhållning på lördagseftermiddagen.
- It'll be a good game, I'm sure of that. It’s always a lively, entertaining game between two clubs who believe in the same things.
- Wilson Palacios is an important player for them, and I think Luka Modric, Tom Huddlestone and Gareth Bale will play. I think Harry’ll go with his 4-4-2, but I could be wrong. He could be watching me now and saying: 'we'll sort him out, we'll play nobody up front!'
- They're going for fourth place, so I'm sure they'll come and have a go. I always expect that from Tottenham. We know it's a difficult game, but we need to take advantage of last weekend.
Om fortsättningen vill Ferguson inte prata mycket om, han konstaterar sedvanligt att United måste göra sitt jobb och låta Chelsea göra misstagen.
- We just need to concentrate on our own job, then we can let Chelsea deal with their situation.
- I don't know if it's an advantage going first at this time of year because the importance of games becomes paramount in the sense of where you really are in the league. We know we have to win, that's the important thing.
