Alex tells Devils to maintain pressure

ALEX FERGUSON has told his Manchester United side to maintain their work ethic against West Ham today — or pay the price.

United will go level on points with Arsenal if they overcome the Premiership’s bottom side and there is a renewed wave of optimism at Old Trafford despite a number of injuries to key players after six successive victories.

Ferguson, however, insists they must keep their foot on the pedal in the race for top spot.
