Sir Alex Ferguson doesn’t think that Chelsea will provide any major threat to Manchester United’s drive for the Premier League title this season. Instead, he is viewing Rafa Bentiez’s Liverpool as the main threat to his domestic ambitions. “At this moment in time, Liverpool are our main challengers and our greatest threat,” the Scotsman told The Manchester Evening News today.
Ferguson has identified the period when United returned from Japan with the World Club Championship as key to the progress that they have subsequently made in climbing to the top of the table. “We went to Stoke and it was a lively pitch and we had just got back from Japan. But we scraped a result because we never gave in,” the Scot added.
