BIRMINGHAM – Sir Alex Ferguson did his best to dispel any doubts
about Manchester United’s challenge for the Premier
League title by insisting his side were on course for
glory despite dropping points in a 1-1 draw away to
Birmingham. Ferguson is desperate to regain the title
from stuttering champions Chelsea and he will enter
the New Year with United in the place which he feels
sends out danger signals to all those jostling for
position behind the Red Devils. “I think we’ve a
chance with the title,” United manager Ferguson said
ahead of his side’s return to the Midlands to play West
Bromwich Albion on Saturday. “At this moment in
time there are five or six teams who are all contesting
that area. “I always say if you get to New Year in first
position, Manchester United have a big chance then.”
