United have found hunger again, says Ferguson

ALEX FERGUSON believes his side have rediscovered the focus that can turn them back into champions again.

After a decade of glory, last year’s shocking capitulation left the Old Trafford chief to speculate that the hunger had gone out of his team.

Those fears have consistently been echoed by skipper Roy Keane, who on the eve of a new campaign has again questioned the desire of a team who have won every honour in the game and accumulated wealth beyond their wildest dreams. But, two days before United serve their penance for a dismal third-place finish last term and head to Hungary for an unwanted Champions League qualifier, Ferguson can feel the spark returning.
