Fergie expects resurgent Arsenal to challenge for title



Sir Alex Ferguson insists Arsenal will be one of Manchester United's main rivals for honours this season as the great rivals prepare to resume battle at Old Trafford on Saturday.

United delivered a crushing blow to Arsenal in last season's Champions League semi-final, cruising through 4-1 on aggregate after beating Arsene Wenger's men 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Ferguson admits that was United's best performance of the season but despite the fact Arsenal have sold Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City during the close-season, the Scot remains convinced the north London club look stronger this year.

He doesn't believe the result of Saturday's game will decide the title, but fully expects Arsenal to be in the mix when the honours are given out in May.

Ferguson has also hailed Wenger's ability to regenerate teams at the Emirates and believes he is one of the best manager's in the world at knowing when the time is right to sell players. Click to read more...
