Ferguson frustrated despite win

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was far from happy with his side despite the 4-3 win over Hull that moved them up to third in the table.

The visitors came from 4-1 down to push United hard in the closing stages.

Ferguson said: "I feel a bit low. We should have won by 10 or 11 and we ended up scrambling for a victory.

"We might have been embarrassed at the end. Cristiano Ronaldo could have had five on his own and I don't know how many chances Dimitar Berbatov created."

United looked to be coasting after two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and one apiece from Michael Carrick and Nemanja Vidic.

But Bernard Mendy and Geovanni hit back to leave United to endure an anxious last eight minutes.

Does Ferguson have cause for concern?

Ferguson added: "I suppose the only thing to take out of it, apart from the win, is the fact we are creating so many opportunities for ourselves."

Hull manager Phil Brown admitted to mixed emotions after the match.

He said: "We can take a lot of pride from the game but nothing else. That is disappointing when you consider we scored three times.

"I was not happy at half-time but we got in their faces a lot more in the second half and really battled hard.

"In some ways, I have more belief in this team than they have in themselves. But I feel we have proved we are capable of competing at this level."
