Fergie excited about run in

A 3-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage has given Sir Alex Ferguson a great deal of joy and he has said that he is looking forward to the run in for the chase for the Premiership title.

Ferguson said: "It's been a bit of a see-saw and now it is down to one point but Chelsea are still right on our coat-tails. It looks as if it is going to be a fantastic run-in.

"I didn't think it was a great game at Fulham. It was a very windy day and a lively pitch but I think we did the job very professionally.

"We switched the team around and gave Rooney and Ronaldo a break. So it is a good day for us.

"You've got to have faith in your squad. You've got to trust your players. That's why we've brought them here. Look at the ones we've left out. Carrick, Giggs and Vidic would get a game for any team. They are all top players.

"Fulham played well but were not a threat in the box. The one thing with them was they always kept pushing and pressing the ball. They made a couple of chances, you know."
