Fergie not trembling yet

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has told big-spending Chelsea that his team is still the one to beat.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has transformed the Stamford Bridge club with a £100m (€142m)-plus summer spending spree.

But Ferguson is not running scared and told the Daily Star Sunday: “We aren’t going to build them into a bloody monster or we’ll be trembling in a minute.

“They still have to beat Manchester United for the league – and we’ll see about that.”

Ferguson also insisted there would be no more switches from Old Trafford to Stamford Bridge following the departure of United chief executive Peter Kenyon.

“Everyone is nailed down here,” he said.
