Moody Blues can only get worse, taunts Ferguson

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Alex Ferguson has accepted Jose Mourinho’s assertion that Chelsea could find a different level as the battle for the Premiership title hots up — he thinks they might get worse.

Ferguson has again laughed off Mourinho’s dig at United’s five-point lead at the top of the table. In the aftermath of the Blues’ midweek win over Newcastle, Mourinho claimed United could not play any better than they are doing at present while his own side still have much more to offer.

The Stamford Bridge supremo is desperate to draw Ferguson into some psychological warfare but if he was hoping his latest outburst would trigger the Scot into a knee-jerk response, he was sadly mistaken.
