London, May 3 (ANI): Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who accused Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard of gifting Chelsea victory at Anfield, is still hopeful of retaining the Premier League title.
United’s 1-0 win at Sunderland reduced the gap again to a single point, but Chelsea remains in the driving seat for next weekend’s last game.
“I just saw it after the game. It was a great gift. There’s nothing we can do about it now, we just have to get on with it,” The Mirror quoted Ferguson, as saying.
If Chelsea beat Wigan at home next Sunday the trophy will be theirs regardless of what happens at Old Trafford.
But Ferguson knows from experience that nothing is ever certain in football.
“All we can do is win our game next week. We want to do that we are playing in front of our fans in the last game of the season,” he said.
“I won’t insult Wigan in any shadow or form because I think they are a really good football team. They will have a go and you never know what happens in football. It’s a crazy game,” Ferguson added. (ANI)
