Ferguson on Vieira comments

Alex Ferguson on Vieira comments that City should win the Premiership title because they play more attractive football: “They were playing great football in the first half of the season. Everyone recognised that and we felt the brunt of it too when they beat us 6-1 here. But a season lasts for a bit longer than three months.”

On Vieira comments that UTD had always referees help (last match against Fulham was accordingly the latest): “The thing is, from the referee’s position, I can see why he didn’t give a penalty when Danny Murphy was brought down. The ball moved to the angle as Michael Carrick challenged him and from that position, it wasn’t clear. It was a good claim but you could go through millions of things like that. Every club gets breaks here and there, you get good ones and bad ones. It evens itself out over the season, that will never change.”
