Alex Ferguson claims that winning the Premiership this season would be Manchester United’s greatest ever achievement. After lagging behind champions Arsenal for so long, United have now whittled down their advantage at the top of the table to just two points with eight matches left to play. And United travel to Highbury in April for what is being touted as a championship decider.
Ferguson, who is preparing his side for their Champions League fixture against Deportivo La Coruna in Spain, declared: “If we win the title this year, it will be our greatest feat yet. If we won it now, it would be incredible.
“This has been our biggest-ever challenge, given the triumphalism of Arsenal and the position we found ourselves in where we have had to whittle away at their lead. They have been saying they will win the Treble, haven't they? And I was surprised that Arsene Wenger said they would still win the league after they lost at Blackburn.
“When the title is still undecided you can never say things like that with any certainty. I never would.”
