Sir Alex Ferguson: Tough road ahead

The Red Devils are still fighting for the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup after winning the Carling Cup an the Club World Cup.

The boss feels winning the lot is too much to expect, claming that lady luck will not shine down on Old Trafford for the dream to become a reality.

The veteran coach may feel a five star haul is beyond his current crop, but he is still firmly of the option that this squad is the best he has assembled in an Old Trafford career which will soon move into its fourth decade.

Ferguson told the New Statesman: "The thing about cup football is you need to be the best but you also need a lot of luck and I think it's asking too much for all the games to go your way.

"The one thing I will say is, this squad is the best I have ever had. Every game we play, I feel confident.

"At the moment, every attack fears our defence and every defence fears our midfield and attack. That gives you confidence but it is too tough a call.''
