Manchester United Boss Sir Alex Ferguson: Premier League Has Been 'Unusual' This Season
Fergie reckons it's slippery at the top...
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that this season has been "unusual" in the Premier League, as the Red Devils attempt to defend their title.
The Old Trafford outfit have already lost five games this season, most recently suffering a 3-0 reverse at Fulham, but still find themselves in second place, four points adrift of Chelsea.
With the chasing pack closing ground on the so-called 'big four', the United gaffer hopes that his charges do not fall off the pace in the race to the league title.
"It is an unusual league," said Ferguson.
"Arsene Wenger said you could lose seven games and win the title this season. That is the way it is going.
"Someone also pointed out the recognised top four have lost 41 points this season. No-one would have bet on that.
"And there are more banana skins on the way I am sure.
"We just have to try and make sure we are not one of them."
