United could close gap on champions

Alex Ferguson believes Manchester United have developed the right attitude just in time for tomorrow’s crunch Barclaycard Premiership clash with leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford.

United could close the gap on the champions to just three points if they beat Arsene Wenger’s men, a scenario which looked unlikely following their derby defeat to Manchester City last month.

Ferguson’s side have not lost since their misery at Maine Road and have picked up seven points from three league games, including a crucial victory at Liverpool last weekend.
