SPORTS: Ferguson Backs Manchester United To Retain Premier League Title

Ferguson With The Premier League Trophy Last Season

Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Manchester United to recover from their slow start to the season and retain the Premier League title.

Without the legendary Scot, who handed over the managerial reigns to David Moyes at the end of last season, at the helm the champions have endured their worst beginning to a league campaign in 14 years.

But two wins from the last three matches have suggested that United are beginning to hit their straps and Ferguson is confident Moyes can still land the title in his first season in charge.

‘We had bad starts to the season many times,’ he said – talking at a question and answer session to coincide with the publication of his autobiography.

‘We are the only club in that league that can come from behind to win the league because of our history.’

Ferguson upset many of his past players and rivals for his typically forthright views in his book, with Roy Keane, David Beckham and Steven Gerrard all coming in for some particularly fierce criticism.

However, the former United boss was unapologetic and insisted his memoirs were released for the club’s supporters.

‘I wrote the book for the fans, to help them understand why I had to make certain decisions,’ he said.

‘[It was] not for the press, that was a book to help people understand how difficult the job is at Manchester United. It’s a massive job, it’s the biggest in the world.’
