Fergie unhappy at gap

Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he is unhappy with the five point gap that rivals Arsenal have managed to pick up. The two Premiership giants go head to head in the FA Cup at Old Trafford this afternoon.

"I am not happy we are five points behind them," Ferguson said.

"You want to be leading at this stage of the campaign.

"However, I have to say Arsenal are looking more compact and more solid than they were last season."

Ferguson also hinted that he may rotate his starting XI for Saturday's FA Cup fifth round tie against Wenger's men.

"You cannot (keep the same side) in every game. That is why clubs have squads of 22 players," he continued.

"You cannot go back to the days when Liverpool won the league with only 14 players to call on."
