Sir Alex: Man Utd could still lose

Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that his club could still yet fail to win the Premiership this season. United have a commanding five point lead at the top of the table.

"Wigan holding Chelsea puts us in a good position but in my experience in life you don't take things for granted," he said.

"We've got some difficult games ahead - Blackburn, West Ham, Chelsea and Wigan. We have three away games and one at home so we have to do a job.

"Because we have difficult games left, there is still a lot to play for and it could still go down to the wire.

"We could lose to Chelsea and we could lose all our remaining games. It's a very difficult league these days."
