London, Aug. 15 (ANI): Coach Alex Ferguson has said that only two clubs — Chelsea and Liverpool — can stop his Manchester United team from marching into the history books this season.
Manchester United are aiming to become the first side ever to win the Premier League title four times in a row. That would also be a record-breaking 19th top-flight crown, The Sun reports.
Fergie believes his young guns can do it and feels only Chelsea and Liverpool are capable of foiling his glory bid.
The Scot is convinced the time is now right for the likes of Federico ]Macheda, Danny Welbeck, Nani, Anderson and Darron Gibson to come to the fore.
Looking ahead to the title race, 67-year-old Ferguson said: “You can throw a blanket over ourselves, Liverpool and Chelsea. “I think it will be between the three of us.”
“There is not a lot to choose between us. The only difference is the fact we have more experience because of winning the title, though that does not matter a great deal in this competition,” he added.
He pointed out United have seen superstars slip through their grasp before but have always managed to find players to step up to the plate in their place. (ANI)
