London, Apr. 23 (ANI): Chelsea not Arsenal will be the biggest threat to Manchester United’s bid to land a record 19th Premier League crown, feels coach Alex Ferguson.
“I said a few weeks ago that Chelsea would be our main challengers, but I don’t know if anyone was listening. Now, they are above Arsenal. Looking at them, Chelsea are far more experienced than Arsenal - strong team, strong experience,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.
“Arsenal are better footballers, but Chelsea are the better, stronger team. I recognise that both are six points behind us, both are our challengers. I have that slight preference for Chelsea because their fixture list is a wee bit easier,” he added..
“Looking behind you is not a bad thing to do with our experience. You have to recognise who is behind you. You can’t be complacent,” he said. (ANI)
