Ferguson: United's Mission Is To Be Undisputed No. 1

Sir Alex Ferguson believes his young Manchester United squad can go on to
conquer the world.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is urging his latest team to believe they can be he the best in the world.

Flushed with United's 4-2 Champions League success in Ukraine against Dynamo Kiev, Ferguson stated: “The last time we had a youthful squad like this, back in 1999, we won the Treble.

“Now it’s time for a new Reds dynasty to step forward, to achieve even more.

"My mission, our mission, is to make United the undisputed No 1 club in England, Europe and the world.

“We want to be challenging, and winning, on all fronts.

“That’s the United way. Never standing still, always striving for higher and higher standards.”

Ferguson is purring about the way his summer signings Carlos Tevez, Nani and
Anderson, who starred in Tuesday’s win in Kiev, are settling in at United.

He said of Tevez: “He’s only 23 and already mentioned in the same breath as one of the all-time greats, Maradona.”

In comments no doubt in part intended for the ear of Premier League pace
-setters Arsenal, who are attracting rave reviews for rge quality if their footbal, and whom United meet soon at the Emirates, Ferguson said he believes teams are running scared of his team's rediscovered scoring prowess.

After struggling to net more than a goal a game for weeks, United have now hit four goals in each of their last three games.

And defender John O’Shea backed his manager, saying: “I think you sense some teams are maybe scared of us.

“I think nights like in Kiev really make teams aware what we are capable of.

“When teams come to Old Trafford, they like to play five in midfield and try to play for the draw.

“But with the attack we have, they are going to be very wary of just trying to defend.

“It seems every time we attack, with the pace and power of Wayne Rooney,
Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Giggsy, we can score.”
