Fulham manager Hughes backs Man U for treble
April 10th, 2011 - 5:01 pm ICT by ANI
London, Apr 10(ANI): Fulham manager Mark Hughes reckons that Manchester United can win the Treble this season after watching them defeat his team.
United defeated Fulham 2-0 in Saturday’s clash at Old Trafford. They now have a 10-point lead at the top of the Premier League points’ table, lead Chelsea after the first-leg of their Champions League tie and are in the FA Cup semi-final.
“They could win everything. They are ticking games off and when you get to this stage of the season, they have been here, understand what needs to happen and what it takes,” the Sun quoted Hughes, as saying.
“It is a big ask. Sir Alex would say himself it is very difficult to do. But trust me, it is something they will try and achieve. Good luck to them,” he added.
United won the Treble in 1999, finishing one point ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League, defeating Bayern Munich in a dramatic Champions League final, and Newcastle in the FA Cup final. (ANI)
