Ferguson focused

ALEX FERGUSON maintains Manchester United will not “run away” from the challenge of regaining the Barclays Premiership title.

United finished third last season as Arsenal completed a remarkable unbeaten league campaign to lift the championship trophy, while Chelsea secured second place following Roman Abramovich’s massive investment in new players.

Ferguson insists United will be ready for the challenges ahead.

Ferguson concedes Chelsea will be something of an unknown factor under a new manager, but still expects them to be title contenders.
