United’s title charge back on track, says Fergie

ALEX FERGUSON insisted Manchester United’s bid to retain the Premier League title remains on course after yesterday’s victory at Queens Park Rangers.

The 2-0 win – secured on the back of goals from Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick gave United another three points and Ferguson is confident his team is on target to enter the new year amongst the leading group.

“The important thing is to be there on New Year’s Day,” Ferguson said. “If you’re involved right at the top part then you know the second half of the season, we’ll relish that.”
