Bullish Manchester United faces Fulham test of discipline
The 7-2 aggregate victory over the seven-time European champions kept United on course for a third successive Champions League final but manager Alex Ferguson is equally excited about the possibility of becoming the first club to win the English title four years in a row.
Ferguson was delighted with the way his players rolled up their sleeves to eke out a 1-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out and they will have to do the same against Fulham who thrashed United 3-0 at Craven Cottage in December.
Ferguson said he had huge respect for Fulham and what manager Roy Hodgson has achieved at the club, who lost 3-1 at Juventus in the first leg of a Europa Cup tie on Thursday.
“What Roy has done there is a remarkable story,” Ferguson told reporters.
“When he came in they were third-from-bottom and now they are playing in Europe -- and they’re not out of that tie either with that away goal. He’s brought his experience and authority, they play with great discipline and that’s down to the manager. He’s formed a team no-one wants to play against. They are well organized, they’re a good possession team and they pass the ball well. He’s turned the whole club round and it won’t be an easy game for us on Sunday [today].”
