Manchester City worry me now, says Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson believes the biggest threat to Manchester United's chances of landing a record-breaking 19th Premier League title next season could come on their doorstep.

The United manager, who correctly predicted last summer that Manchester City would not finish in the top four, is now anticipating a fiercer challenge from his neighbours.

Feeling threatened: Alex Ferguson on the touchline during the Manchester derby

'They will be a lot stronger this time,' he said. 'With the experience of last year behind them they'll be better equipped to go for the title because they will spend big money again.

'Winning the title is going to be more difficult for anybody. This time it's been ourselves and Chelsea and Arsenal for a period, but I think we can all hear the horses' hooves galloping closer.

'In addition to City, I'm expecting Tottenham to be in the mix as well. 'I suppose the neutrals will welcome a situation where the competition is spread further as being good for the game.

'Of course I'm disappointed we didn't quite get there this season, but that doesn't mean we'll be making wholesale changes.

'I believe we are well placed to make another challenge next season. We have brought in some young players over the past couple of seasons and they're going to be a lot better this time. We also have tremendous experience in the side.

'I'd like to make a couple of signings, but the market is very narrow. There will be a few clubs trying the buy the same players and we all can't get what we want.'

I read this earlier on, i think he's just getting it out there that we're going to be a threat now so if he fuck's up next season he can use it as an excuse ie 'Well Spurs and City are a lot stronger blah blah blah.'

But he's right we will be right up there next season with a couple of great signings imo.

Think we need to actually beat them, win something and finish above them before we can start crowing tbh.

Whatever ferguson says interests me very little. What I do care about is what we are going to do in the next 3 months to make up the 5 pts we need to crack the top 4, and find players who can grow a pair and win big games.

Doesn't say we worry him anywhere there??? or am I missing it?

Furguson will not be worried by us or anybody, he's too much of an arrogant cunt to be worried.

What, does he fear we won't take 6 points off their main tital rivals and gift them 6 points next season? I am sure he is shaking in his boots over that.
