Ferguson fears title bid is over
FERGUSON'S VIEW
Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admits they must beat Arsenal or the title race may be over already.

United's goalless draw at Birmingham leaves them 11 points behind Arsenal.

He said: "The Arsenal game is a must-win one for us and we want to win it, that's the most important thing. Showing great desire will be important.

"Everybody is right to write us off because we're a few points behind everyone but football is a funny game and things can change."

He added: "We are capable of winning the league but we need to show the form that is capable of doing that. We're not doing that at the moment."

United's superstar attack is having trouble hitting the target, and Ferguson said: "I didn't know about the statistic of only nine goals in nine games until somebody told me but it would be a concern."
